Great - to bring it back I've argued with iStock about their model
release form which I think is crap - it's not in plain English and it
requires ethnicity and uses the term Native American - not
appropriate here. And there are other confusions - in the UK Asian
refers to Indians (real ones) Pakistanis and Bangla Deshis - here it
refers to Chinese, Japanes, Vietnamese and similar. Any attempt to
categorise ethnicities is doomed to difficulties - I refer to myself
as Lancastrian. I am not one of those effete southerners. :-)
