I know right.Who is this Society that are denying people their identities?
I mean as soon as I label Mrs Patel as BAME, then white society deems that she is no longer allowed to make samosa or wear her sari? Instead she has to conform to some undefined specific homogenous BAME identity. What is this identity, is it a mix of all ethnic types? Labelled BAME so she must not eat pork, must have her boys circumcised, wear a rasta hat, be buddhist, go to the synagogue, smoke a hookah pipe in an Iranian cafe, and pigment their skin to be sub-saharan black. I mean that's what society deems right?! Once society 'labels them' BAME, then their individuality is lost and they are all stereotypes at once.
It's utter utter nonsense, that society deeming victims of crime and prejudice as a group suddenly means they have no individual identity in all of their lives.
