Collecting data about ethnicity is always problematic because the definitions are fundamentally fluid.
Finnish people were considered Asian in some American states in the early 20th century. Should they be included in crime statistics with Chinese?
Also, if police are required to collect this data, who else is? Should you be able to look up the registered ethnicity of a person similar to how anyone can look up tax returns in Sweden (and other Nordic countries)? If not, why not?
