For all 'BAME' organisations, organisations who state they work with 'BAME' communities and/or organisations/networks for 'BAME' people, one of the most powerful ways to acknowledge the lived experiences of oppression & dynamic of being 'othered' is to stop using the term 'BAME'.
The term 'BAME' is oppressive itself & reflects a projected identity onto minoritised communities instead of its true dynamic which is of minoritising, othering & oppressing Black & Brown people. For minoritised groups to use the term 'BAME' is to repeat internalised oppression.
Instead being 'minoritised' is a reflection of the relationship between the oppressors and oppressed. Something being done to 1 group by another. Whereas 'minority' reflects an identity of 1 group, ignoring any relationship with those doing the labelling.
