BAME

UK has one of the most diverse ethnic populations in the world, with roughly 12 percent of the population belonging to minority groups like Blacks, Asians, Arabs and others. This population has to play an active role if the country is to prosper, and the BAME staff has been playing this role for decades. While some believe that isolated incidents of racial discrimination are contributing to the unrest in the minority groups but as a whole, UK is doing better than most countries in the world. The rapidly increasing immigration from minority ethnic groups in the UK is testimony to this fact.

Inclusion of BAME staff in every walk of life is important to the country as it reflects the diversity of modern Britain. This will positively influence the experience of students, businessmen, corporate professionals, and all BAME staff, who will see “people like them”. Such inclusion not only helps the BAME staff with good opportunities but also portrays a positive image of the country as a whole. But are we really doing our best to promote BAME?



Not at a certain institution situated close to a diverse range of food & other shops with representation from the West Indies, Spain, Nigeria, Iran, Lebanon, Vietnam, China, India... It now appears to have every single one of its board and senior management positions occupied by those in the AC1 classification.... wonder how that happened?

I totally agree with the opinion but BAME people have to work a lot harder than others to achieve the same level of success or at least a step progress. The recruitment system has to change, there has to be at least one BAME executive member in the board, favouritism has to be removed and a lot of things have to change (I am talking about NHS). I am positive that things will change and everyone will be equally treated regardless of ethnicity.

Taking a sabbatical so that I can focus on helping the US Black Business Network implement a 12 month shop Black shop local research campaign based in Mobile AL.

Mr. Beeknoo, your comments reminded me of a Queens Christmas Address in which she characterized the UK and the colonies as "like one big happy family". The "Great" in Great Brittan came and was built upon exploitation and discrimination, and here I am thinking more broadly abut about exploitation based on gender, race and class. One question is, should the wider community "promote" BAME communities and individuals or should, as was advocated by the suffrage movement and more recently protesters following George Floyd's death, or should we all start to address the systemic discrimination that exists in most countries around the world? However, I support your approach and ask if you have any ideas how the wider community can move from the general ide to specific actions with measurable outcomes in pursuit of your goal.
