Are Latinxs /Hispanics considered BAME?

[Fressia123]

Inspired by another thread. We're very much a tiny minority here, but I think we would be? We do have our unique health risks (cancer at a younger age, hypertension, diabetes). If that helps.

Cuba is a lot whiter than you'd think (same as Puerto Rico but they do have more indigenous mix). According to the last census 65% of people in Cuba were reported as white.

Is that white like Brazil is white? (I'm a lot more familiar with Brazil, have visited and have good friends from there).
Or white as defined in the US?

I think in most of LatAm is self defined? But generally speaking it would be of you're fair skinned and you have known/recent links to Europe.

This is the second thread today I've seen where a poster has asserted that BAME stands for black and minority ethnic. Have I been mistaken in thinking the A stands for Asian?

Yes, it's Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic. That's what I've always thought anyways.

I also thought that, as there is BME as well as BAME.

BAME is just a UK-ism as far as I can tell, and will lose what currency it has when pronounced racist and replaced by the next term. (I do genuinely think it is a racist term. It's an acceptable way of saying "ethnics," isn't it?) I wouldn't worry about it too much.
