What does the new British wokeism "Global Majority" mean?

It means: "No Whites Allowed." And: "We Nonwhites Would Win in a Fight."

From the BBC:

Should we drop ethnic minority for global majority?

Over the past few years numerous organisations as well as the UK government have dropped the acronym BAME, which stands for black, Asian and minority ethnic.

While other terms such as ethnic minority and people of colour are still routinely used, another appears to be building momentum - people of the global majority.

Shouldn’t the British government be more concerned about the wishes of the British majority, as represented by Parliament, and less concerned about the “Global Majority,” the vast majority of whom are citizens of other countries?

Global majority refers to people who are "black, Asian, brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities'" and "represent approximately 80% of the world's population", according to educator and activist Rosemary Campbell-Stephens, who coined the term.

Wikipedia asserts that the Global Majority isn’t just 80% of humanity, it’s 85%:

"Global majority" is a collective term for people of Indigenous, African, Asian, or Latin American descent, who constitute approximately 85 percent of the global population.

Granted, the term “Asian” in this new Britishism “Global Majority” is confusing because in British parlance, Asian traditionally refers to South Asians, not to East Asians, who in America are frequently classified as too white adjacent to get all the DEI affirmative action privileges.

Ever since covid / George Floyd and the media mania over how Trump saying the words “China virus” in March 2020 led to an outbreak of black-on-Asian beatings in San Francisco nine months later is all the fault of whites (after all, what isn’t?), Woke Brits have been using terms like British East and Southeast Asian (BESEA). From Wikipedia:

The terms British East and Southeast Asian (BESEA) or simply East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) are used to refer to people in the United Kingdom (UK) who identify with the cultures and ethnicities of East and Southeast Asia….

The term East and Southeast Asian has emerged in a UK context where the category 'Asian' is predominantly used to refer to those from a South Asian background. It has been adopted to replace the derogatory racialised term 'Oriental'. The term has gained currency following the outbreak of COVID-19 which led to a rise in anti-Asian racial violence and the creation of a number of groups that have organised under the ESEA term.

So, I’m guessing that East Asians are currently counted in the Global Majority in Britain. While they enjoy strong math scores, they ultimately aren’t white, and that’s what counts (at present).

Then again, the term Global South, which is often used to explain the term Global Majority, as shown in this Wikipedia map, includes some awfully northern places like China’s Manchuria but not Japan, and North Korea but not South Korea:

The Global North includes New Zealand but not South Africa or Argentina, and Israel but not NATO member Turkey, and Cyprus but not Armenia and Georgia.

But, details aside, the basic message of the term “Global Majority” is clear: No Whites Allowed.

Back to the BBC:

With Black History Month in the UK well under way we look at the origins of the term [“Global Majority”] and reflect the debates around its use when talking about ethnicity.

Campaigner Donna Ali said she liked the term but it had pros and cons.

"It speaks to unity, it gives you prominence and I think it helps us feel not less than," said Donna, founder of BE.Xcellence, a community interest company that aims to raise the representation of black, Asian and minority ethnic people in powerful positions in Wales.

Donna Ali is a Kamala-looking lady of no clear ancestry, who could enjoy a strong career in stock photography playing a Generic DEI Lady who enjoys a self-actualizing career at GigaCorp:

"[The word] 'minority' can make you feel that you are less than, you are the least, when in reality we are the more in terms of numbers," she said.

We’re number one!

She said the case against was it "puts everyone in one lump".

She doesn’t want to compete for affirmative action DEI slots against workaholic Chinese just because they are also in the nonwhite Global Majority.

"What it says to me is 'them and us' and I hate that, it shouldn't be about everyone black and brown on that side and whites on that side, it's absolutely ridiculous."

Well, that’s is the point: “Global Majority” is a reminder that there are 6 or 7 billion nonwhites versus a shrinking 1 or 2 billion whites, so who should be feared the most and thus privileged the most?

In simple terms: Who’d win in a fight? The Global Majority, that’s who!
