Re: It is not skills..

Umm, sorry to be a pedantic grammar wonk, but "BAME" is no longer the accepted term*, now it is "BIPOC" - Black, Indigenous, People of Colour. (Although the USA still has the NAACP - National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, so I am somewhat sympathetic to anyone who is as confused as I am.) The trouble is that any labelling that implies 'white' is 'normal' or the expected skin colour is bound to be problematic.

Also, although I am gay, I do get confused with all the letters after "LGBT" and what they mean.

*See, for example, the workbook, "Me and White Supremacy", by Layla F Saad, ISBN 978-1-52940-510-1.
