Notes

1. Piatt's analysis of the Labour Force Survey notes that 'inter-ethnic partnerships are defined as those where one partner regards themselves as belonging to a different one of the 15 ethnic group categories to that claimed by the other partner' (2009, p. 13). Given the wide range of fifteen ethnic groups, inter-ethnic unions were not necessarily ones involving a white partner, though many of them probably do. Also, only a third of black Caribbean women and something over half of black Caribbean men are married or cohabiting (Platt 2009).

2. Most of this black group (316,000) is comprised of black Caribbean/white individuals.

3. This ESRC-funded project, 'The Ethnic Options of Mixed Race People in Britain, was conducted with Peter Aspinall and Ferhana Hashem (both from CHSS, University of Kent), and was carried out between March 2006 and July 2008.

4. In fact, 33 per cent of mixed people in Britain lived in London in 2001 when the census was taken (Bradford 2006). Most of the respondents were between 18 and 29, with 258 women and sixty-eight men. This significant gender imbalance mirrors the gendered patterns of participation found in other studies of mixed race.

5. Black/white 17; East Asian/white 16; South Asian/white 10; Arab/white 15; minority mix 7. Total = 65.
