You hear the word BAME a lot in Britain. Sometimes it's pronounced as an initialisation, B-A-M-E, and sometimes it's pronounced as an acronym, baym. In both cases it stands for Black Asian Minority Ethnic, and the underlying idea is that people of these ethnicities require special attention and kindness and respect and help.
I do agree completely and wholeheartedly with this...
...especially since I've realised that everyone in the world is Minority Ethnic.
Word To Consider Today: BAME. The term BME has been used since the 1970s in the USA. BAME is derived from that.
