Is "colour" different to "race"?
Seriously?
Colour comes from racial background. But, true, "mixed-race" != "race".
Mixed race was/is a poor description in my opinion.
As a method of distinguishing racial categories, skin colour, which has evolved along a spectrum, has such a vast variation within the different skin colour groupings, it's basically useless.
In other words, two people of very different skin colours but from the same race, could have a child who some would misleadingly refer to as mixed race.
Race and ethnicity are frequently confused and I believe opinions differ as to the core definitions of both. I'm certainly no expert, but have a child who studied anthropology at university. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

I'm with LT - refer to someone as they want to be referred. I don't agree with Stonewall requiring organisations to make blanket changes, but if an employee / customer wants to be referred to as "mother" or "person who gave birth", then respect that wish.
