This guide starts the discussion on what
terminology and language the sport and physical activity sector should use when dealing with or describing racial discrimination and inequality.
Systemic racism is incredibly complex and to tackle it effectively, we need terminology and language which is more specific to the communities experiencing racism in order to improve inclusivity. Understanding what is and is not appropriate terminology and language is the first step to helping us have more confident and respectful discussions about the issue of racial discrimination and inequality.
This practical guidance resource will cover outdated terms, why they are deemed to be 'outdated' and the suggested terms we should now be using within the sporting world with those from BAME backgrounds.
