So apparently BAME is offensive and should not be used
When did that happen? It has been used prolifically by all types of organisations this year.

I always thought it was shit to be honest. A catch-all term for non-white, either excluding anyone not of Black or Middle Eastern origin, or lumping them in regardless.
It’s never sat right with me.
What has 'Middle Eastern" got to do with the BAME acronym?
Until I looked it up, I’d thought it was Black And Multi Ethnic.
And on reflection, that really never made sense 
Ah, you got me there.
Every day is a school day. Still doesn’t sit right with me.
I think we’re smart enough for a bit more nuance. Incidentally, and I may be wrong on this, but the terms white and black only really came into use after colonialism.
Before then, we were French, English, etc.
I think we’re capable of being more specific these days. Sri Lankans run the two shops nearby, a load of Turks run my favourite international shop. Really isn’t hard to engage with people from other place.
Totally bamboozled by all these acronyms…I thought a Corkasian was an Irish immagrant.

You need the volume up to hear it properly. West Ham fans booing the players. 
I wouldn’t think there are any Wet Spam supporters there…it’s being played at Elland Road.
They sound like West Ham, from what they’re shouting. 
That video is 5th December…keep up nipper.

Lol one of these Oxford done refusing to teach Oriel students over the Cecil Rhodes statute is funded by a grant named in Cecil Rhodes honour
Prof Wale Adebanwi, another signatory, is the Rhodes Professor of Race Relations. The professorship was created in the early 1950s, following a donation from the then Rhodesian Selection Trust, who requested it be named in memory of Cecil Rhodes.
