No, by any good faith source that I have read, BIPOC does not at all exclude Asians. "The acronym BIPOC refers to black, indigenous, and other people of color and aims to emphasize the historic oppression of black and indigenous people."
Incidentally, one of the co-founders of the "BIPOC Project" is an Asian-American woman.

- wyager 5y agoFrom the BIPOC project website: “We use the term BIPOC to highlight the unique relationship to whiteness that Indigenous and Black (African Americans) people have” If it included Asians they would just keep using POC.
- vimy 5y agoEuropean activists have started using BIPOC as well. They don’t seem to realize that indigenous means white in Europe.
- andromeduck 5y agoIsn't BAME the euro equivalent?
- vimy 5y agoThat’s the UK term. Other European countries are more focussed on the US so they use all the US terms.
