EDIT: Please accept my sincere apologies for not including a Trigger Warning for eating disorders within the book review. It was an oversight on my part and I will ensure I learn from this moving forward, Sadia.
Cheers Sadia, that was a very interesting read. Personally, on the terms, I find POC a very useful and inclusive catch all. My wife is Chinese, I'm Anglo-Indian-Bengali-Cockney, our kids are mongrels...we all see and refer to ourselves as People of Colour...it's a useful shorthand/catch-all. As you say, there are times when being more specific is appropriate/more helpful.

Thanks so much, I really enjoy your newsletters. “Diversity is a fact, inclusion is a choice” is great and a very useful phrase to remember!
Thanks for writing and sharing this - it was really helpful and clear.
I really appreciate all the work you have done here, such valuable and important reading and lessons to learn and keep learning in anti-racism x
