My Quadruple-Barrelled Ethnicity

According to front page of The Times today:

"The government is proposing to rename ethnic minority groups along US lines in an attempt to strengthen and highlight their British roots. Minorities could be described as, for example "Asian-British" rather than simply "Asian" under proposals being considered by Hazel Blears, the Home Office Minister"

Does that mean I'm now (or somedday could be) "Irish-British-Canadian-British?" (Insert saracasm here)

Oh good grief...
