Hello, and welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Alice.
And I'm Neil.
So, Alice, what do you see when you look at me?
Oh, well, um, male.
Caucasian, early 40s, short, urban hair, bushy eyebrows, thin lips.
Ah, OK.
So that's how you see me.
It sounds like a police report.
I'm not sure I like your observation about thin lips.
Caucasian means white skinned in European, by the way.
Mm, and today, this show is about identity, who or what a person is.
And the way people see us forms part of our sense of identity,
while another part comes from our ethnic or racial identity.
So, my question for you today, Neil, is what percentage of the UK population describe themselves as ethnically mixed?
Is it A, 0.9%?
B, 5.9% or C, 9%.
OK, I think that it's A, 0.9%.
