My comment relates to appropriate language. The news article seems to intimate that the travellers asked for minority ethnic status. They seemed content to be granted the status and hence the use of the term ‘minority ethnic community’ is appropriate.
I am only commenting on language, I am not making any point about the community or its’ history. I am not getting into a debate about the rights and wrongs.
