Of no great import in the overall scheme of things but neither that article nor the Commission suggest BAME is unnacceptable, just that it's not useful. As the Guardian article makes clear that's been a contention in some places and some minority groups for many years.
Others will say it's still useful as a shorthand for all ethnic minorities but that it covers a group which are actually far more diverse than the White majority.
