- 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?
