BBC mixed-race season coming soon.
Brad 17 September 2011
On 29 April 2001 a new category was added to the census. Simply called "Mixed" it allowed mixed race people for the very first time to tick a full range of boxes to describe their identities.
Mixed Race Britain is put under the spotlight this September on BBC Two in a collection of revealing and compelling new programmes.
Britain in 2011 has proportionately the largest mixed population in the Western world, but a hundred years ago people of mixed race lived on the edges of British society. With an exciting mix of drama and documentaries, this season explores the mixed race experience in Britain – and around the world – from the distant past to the present-day, using the testimonies of a range of people, both ordinary and extraordinary, to illuminate this seldom-told story.
Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC Two, says: “It is 10 years since the full ‘mixed race’ category was added to the 2001 census and a timely moment to explore this subject matter. But this is not just a season for mixed race people, or those in a mixed race relationship. It’s BBC Two’s role to reflect contemporary society and the story of mixed-race Britain is a valuable exploration into the way we live now. I hope our audience will find it fresh and inspiring.”

Moreover, statements and experiences concerning issues with family and friends, school or general society will put parents at ease with the feeling that they are not alone in their thinking.
