There has been much debate in the arts sector regarding the usage of the term BAME (which hasn’t reached the affordable housing sector yet) called #BAMEover –  not wanting  to be grouped into a collective term, or reduced to acronyms. Campaigners state that  the acronym BAME, which stands for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, is redundant, inaccurate and neglects the diversity, humanity and lived experience of those from ethnic minority backgrounds.   Many of the UK’s leading arts producers and leaders have long ago dropped the use of “BAME” and “BME” in their places of work. Is it time for the affordable housing sector to follow suit?
