My arguments for diversity are often unusually opaque, elliptic and though often well-received, I'm always suspicious that I'll be "Shot by Both Sides" as per Magazine's famous post-punk song. I've argued against being called "POC", "BAME" and more recently, even "South Asian". I don't like people putting me in a box that I didn't choose. I like the boxes chosen by less well-meaning folk even less, but that much should be obvious, I hope. If I'm going to be shot by only one side, I'd rather it was by the racists.
