<P> The 2001 UK Census classified ethnicity into several groups: White, Black, Asian, Mixed, Chinese and Other . These categories formed the basis for all National Statistics ethnicity statistics until the 2011 Census results were issued . The 1991 UK census was the first to include a question on ethnicity . A number of academics have pointed out that the ethnicity classification employed in the census and other official statistics in the UK since 1991 involve confusion between the concepts of ethnicity and race . David I. Kertzer and Dominique Arel argue that this is the case in many censuses, and that "the case of Britain is illuminative of the recurring failure to distinguish race from ethnicity". User consultation undertaken for the purpose of planning the 2011 census revealed that some participants thought the "use of colour (White and Black) to define ethnicity is confusing or unacceptable". </P> <P> According to the 2011 Census, the ethnic composition of the United Kingdom was as set out in the table below . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Ethnic group </Th> <Th> Population (2011) </Th> <Th> Percentage of total population </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> White or White British: Total </Td> <Td> 55,010,359 </Td> <Td> 87.1 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gypsy / Traveller / Irish Traveller: Total </Td> <Td> 63,193 </Td> <Td> 0.1 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Asian or Asian British: Indian </Td> <Td> 1,451,862 </Td> <Td> 2.3 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Asian or Asian British: Pakistani </Td> <Td> 1,174,983 </Td> <Td> 1.9 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Asian or Asian British: Bangladeshi </Td> <Td> 451,529 </Td> <Td> 0.7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Asian or Asian British: Chinese </Td> <Td> 433,150 </Td> <Td> 0.7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Asian or Asian British: Other Asian </Td> <Td> 861,815 </Td> <Td> 1.4 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Asian or Asian British: Total </Td> <Td> 4,373,339 </Td> <Td> 6.9 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Black or Black British: Total </Td> <Td> 1,904,684 </Td> <Td> 3.0 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mixed or Multiple: Total </Td> <Td> 1,250,229 </Td> <Td> 2.0 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Other Ethnic Group: Total </Td> <Td> 580,374 </Td> <Td> 0.9 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Total </Td> <Td> 63,182,178 </Td> <Td> 100 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Ethnic group </Th> <Th> Population (2011) </Th> <Th> Percentage of total population </Th> </Tr>
