Harriet Harman, struggling to find something to do, has apparently come up with this wheeze. As a mixed-race person, I belong to Britain's fastest-growing ethnic minority (even if you don't count the Afro-Caribbeans, who are all mixed-race and all look it), accounting for one in five children under five. You can't always spot us; indeed, many people don't spot me in that sense.
Where would we fit into all of this, certain to be adopted by all three parties if one of them does it? Are there to be charts indicating shades of skin colour? Is someone official going to measure the width of noses or the thickness of lips? Are pencils to be dropped into hair to see if they fall out? I think we should be told.
