BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) groups

BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) groups refer to communities within a country that originate from diverse racial, ethnic, or cultural backgrounds distinct from the majority population. This includes people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and other non-White origins. Recognizing BME groups aims to promote understanding, equality, and inclusion, addressing disparities in areas like education, employment, and healthcare. The term helps governments and organizations focus on supporting diverse communities, ensuring fair treatment, representation, and opportunities for all, regardless of background.
