Nope, it is BIPOC
- EnigmaFlare 2y agobecause they need to exclude Asians and Indians who don't fit the disadvantaged criterion - which is why they're being identified in the first place.
- renewiltord 2y agoWait, Indians and Asians are not in BIPOC?! I thought it was a union of the adjectives, not an intersection. Like LGBT you know, you don’t have to be all of them to be LGBT. TIL Uh oh. I’ve been using it wrong for a while, whoops.
- hungie 2y agoThey are considered BIPOC. It stands for Black, Indigenous, or Person Of Color. The term is intended to be inclusive of all groups who are not white while recognizing that, in the states where the term originated, Black and Indigenous communities have suffered uniquely and systemically. Note: I am not saying that it achieved those goals or that it's a good or bad term, just explaining the intended understanding.
- EnigmaFlare 2y agoOh! I was the one misunderstanding it. Didn't know there was a conjunction in there.
- HKH2 2y agoSo you thought it was a euphemism for non-white?
- labster 2y agoI thought they were called DEIs now.
- BeFlatXIII 2y agoYou gotta use ADOS to exclude the privileged Kenyan and Nigerian upper-class immigrants.
