Description

The term PoC has primarily been used in the USA and seen by some to be a more positive term than BAME (Black and Minority Ethnic) or BME (Black Minority Ethnic). However, as not everyone in the UK has adopted this as an acceptable term in the positive way this was intended, the Panel member wishes to extend her personal apologies to our student Faxi and anyone else who may take any offence by the use of it within this Podcast.
