Labour's BAME Manifesto

[Gumbo Robot]

Just read Labour's BAME manifesto.

Fair enough. But BAME? Never heard that one - must be the new Newspeak/Common Purpose term for somebody who ain't white.

Stands for "Black and Minority Ethnic".

And it's not pronounced "baym", it's "bah-may".

According to my sister in law who is a social worker

Why do they have to have special manifestos for people who are not white.. can't we just treat everyone equally. Imagine the uproar if they had a special manifesto for white people.

That's because a special manifesto for white people would be 'wacist' as the Guardianistas like to scream

Haven't got a problem with it. Non-whites (I hate that term, it reminds me of apartheid SA) do face challenges that white people are blissfully unaware of.

Many would say they do.
