A Billionaire Names His Team to Ride SpaceX
What a nice guy!
Government needs to tackle institutional racism in Britain once the ‘Bame’ label has been scrapped
BAME and people of colour are both racist terms; "Ethnic Minority" is not.
Britain is 82% white, so 18%, by definition, belong to an "ethnic minority" of various kinds.
However, "ethnic minority" has also been used to describe tinkers, Roma, Slavs, Poles, Germans even LBGTQRF's. So, while I agree that BAME is not useful, there doesn't seem to be a useful term.

You're the word-smith, Nadine: come up with something!
