Stop the use of the phrase, "people of colour" as it is segregational.
The use of the phrase "people of colour" is segregational as it could be interpreted to mean that the non "people of colour", are "people of colourless". We are all beautiful human race and our diversity should unite us, not segregate us. UK government to consider banning the phrase in the UK media.
The UK government is a beacon of hope and a pacesetter in getting inclusion and diversity right. The government can do this to show the world that, when it comes to inclusion and diversity, UK is the best place to live in the world.
