To BAME or not to BAME: What do you think of the term BAME?

The SRN recognises that the term BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) is problematic for some people. 

The Mission Statement of the SRN includes a commitment to promoting, recognising and appreciating equality and diversity of our members.

We recognise that the term BAME is widely used in written and spoken communications.  However, the use of the term has become a hot topic of debate. This short survey is a chance for you to have your views heard.
