Is ‘non-white’ a problem?
For Habeeb it's certainly going to be a problem. That post is about recovering identity that is being hidden by a more generic term. "Non-white" has just the same problem and makes any identity other than White a negative one.
Taking that onboard ... we should just not use any catch-all term for ethnic minorities (in majority white populations)? Tricky but possible I guess.
Perhaps the takeaway is to always be specific with identity, when one can?
Yes to this.
