  1. THE EMERGENCE OF “BIPOC”: MEANING AND EXPLANATION

  2. BIPOC: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? BIPOC is a political label that Black people, Indigenous people, and people of color in the United States use to identify themselves and show solidarity. Black, Indigenous, People of Color, or BIPOC, is a person-first language. It enables a departure from concepts like “minority” and “marginalized.” The designation “BIPOC” was chosen to draw attention to particular injustices affecting black and indigenous people.

  3. HERE IS A FULL EXPLANATION OF WHAT “BIPOC” MEANS: 1. Black A person of African or Caribbean descent is typically described as “black.” The term “African American” is frequently used to refer to people of African descent in the United States, but this isn’t always accurate. Some Black people might not be Americans, and others might not have African ancestry. Some people might prefer to identify as Kenyan American or Jamaican American, for example, since that is where their families originally came from.

  4. HERE IS A FULL EXPLANATION OF WHAT “BIPOC” MEANS: 2. Indigenous A native of North America is referred to as “indigenous” in American usage. Indigenous is a general term that refers to all tribes of the continent’s original inhabitants. Additional phrases might be: Native Americans or American Indians, Native Americans, and Native Alaskans or people from Alaska. The terms themselves remain general. In the United States alone, 574 identified Indian Nations exist. It’s always best to refer to just one or two people or a small group of people by their specific tribe names.

  5. HERE IS A FULL EXPLANATION OF WHAT “BIPOC” MEANS: 3. People of Color People who aren’t white are referred to as “People of Color” in general. This phrase has drawn criticism for being too inclusive because it relates to a wide variety of individuals as one group of “others.” Although this checklist is by no means complete, “People of Color” can include those who are: African American or Black, Eastern Asia, South Asians who are Latinx, and Hawaiians and people from other Pacific Islands. Harmful cultural stereotypes and systemic racism pose several distinct challenges for People of Color, from the incarceration of Japanese Americans in concentration camps during World War II to the detention of children whose parents were trying to immigrate to the United States.
