So what, exactly, is 'BME'?
It's so hard to keep up with SJW terminology these days. Is there a website that lists today's politically-correct acronyms?

It appears to have started in Saskatchewan with this ad campaign.
City of Saskatoon, advocates defend anti-racism billboards
And at a technical university in Ontario:
Are you privileged because you're white, male, heterosexual? UOIT posters spark controversy
And at Trent University this controversial event:
‘Anti-white(ness)’ Canadian university event mired in controversy

This thread reminds of the idiots on LinkedIn who plump up on the white privilege threads saying that "you have to play your hand" and "I got where I did through hard work".
Candidly just so everyone is clear there is no such thing as a self made person and anyone who tells you other wise is kidding themselves.
