Yeah, that's the preferred term used by most of the people with whom I interact IRL, and I've been told the problem with "racial and ethnic minorities" is that white people are actually the minority, worldwide, so acting like we aren't is a privilege in itself. Further, "ethnic minority" can mean lots of people with passing privilege (myself included!). So AFAIK, the REAL best solution is to identify the groups impacted, and not lump everyone into a "non-white" group, and I probably should have just used "black" in this case, as that is the group impacted by both the original story and the link I posted.
