Overall: 
A few issues remain. SounderBruce 08:30, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- SounderBruce thanks. As they are fairly simple, I've updated the two hook comments above. Re: the globalize point, there is a citation to an article with reference to Canadian use of visible minority. But I agree this can be made more explicit (as with US usage). —Caorongjin 💬 09:14, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: I've added some sections on Canada and the United States to broaden the discussion. Are there any outstanding issues? —Caorongjin 💬 10:39, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Caorongjin: Some of the citations (a Medium blog, Global Sisters) aren't reliable. The article also seems to lack criticism of the term's use in the US and Canada, so both of this issue remains unresolved. SounderBruce 05:12, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: I've dropped the Global Sisters. The Medium blog is self-published, but has been cited by scholarly works. So in my view, it seems to fall under the reliable in specific contexts bucket? I have created a talk section for this point. With regards to the criticism of the term's use in the US and Canada, I have not found anything. This may lead to the conclusion that those sections should be removed, which is fine on one level. But they are there to address your point to WP:GLOBALIZE. The irony, is the whole point of the subject is around the a particular understanding of WP:BIAS, but the reliable source material is only pointing in a particular direction. I feel like that point is between a rock and a hard place, and would be grateful for any further thoughts on how to improve on that. —Caorongjin 💬 09:28, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- In that case, please tone down the use of pro-use language such as "helpful way" or "disempowered and subordinated". SounderBruce 06:15, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: I've tried to tone it down and bring some of the criticisms to the more general discussion. I think it is more neutral now, but do let me know if you think more is needed. —Caorongjin 💬 15:33, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- The article looks better, but upon further review the two hooks have their own issues: ALT0 needs to use something time-neutral, as "is adopting" could be problematic if this runs a bit late; ALT1 doesn't really need to name the MP by name, as they don't seem to be a major political figure and could simply be referred to as "a Conservative Party MP". SounderBruce 04:42, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: Per your suggestions, I have made the slight amendments to the two hooks above. I have also added an ALT2 that combines the two. —Caorongjin 💬 09:18, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
