Term replaced with Global Majority

British news:
The BBC has come under fire for questioning if the term “ethnic minority” should be replaced with “global majority”.

In recent years, various organisations across the UK, including the Government, have dropped the acronym Bame, which stands for black, Asian, and minority ethnic, and in its place are opting to use the new phrase “global majority”.

The term was coined in 2003 by Rosemary Campbell-Stephens, a British-Jamaican academic, and refers to people who are “black, Asian, brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities'”.

Campbell-Stephens said in 2020 that the group accounts for more than 80 per cent of the world’s population. ...

Last year, the National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) announced that it had adopted the term “people of the global majority” to refer to all ethnic groups except white British and other white groups.

They have a point. It is tiresome the way a lot of people use terms like "minority" to mean non-whites. Whites are a minority, globally, and are increasingly being pushed aside.

Policies in Britain and elsewhere have systematically replaced Whites with non-whites. Soon there will be no majority White countries.

California public schools are about 30% White, so it does not make sense to say minority to mean non-white. Whites are the minority in many big American cities, in California public schools, in London, and in the world.
