Mixed White and Black Caribbean is an ethnic group category that was first introduced by the United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics for the 2001 Census. Colloquially it refers to British citizens or residents whose parents are of a White ethnic background and Black Caribbean ethnic background. This classification is only used in England and Wales, as Scotland and Northern Ireland do not have sub categories for their mixed group options.
They have a total population of 513,042, representing 0.9% of England and Wales,[1] an increase from 426,715 in 2011 and 237,420 in 2001.
