Question

BAME

What is your definition of BAME? - does it include non-British white people such as Poles, Spaniards, Australians and Russians, or not?

Answer

Date: Tuesday 23 January 2018

The acronym BAME stands for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and is defined as all ethnic groups except White ethnic groups. It does not relate to country origin or affiliation.

As far as possible, the GLA seeks to adhere to the Office for National Statistics' harmonised output categories for ethnic groups. In this classification, BAME comprises all Mixed, Asian, Black and Other (non white) ethnicities. White ethnic groups comprise White British; White Irish, Gypsy or Irish Traveller; and Other White.
