[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember when it was preferred to refer to folks as black. Then it was changed to african-american. Than, apparently, we went to black again. I guess BIPOC is the latest iteration. I'm happy to call people whatever they prefer, but if wish folks would settle on one term. [/quote] The way that we think and talk about race has always and will continue to evolve. Black people endured hundreds of years being defined by white people. Please allow us our nuance now. [/quote] And this is where people like my family give a hard NO. We are a multi-racial family. We find the term BIPOC incredibly offensive. Like only our black children may be discriminated against? Really? Since when did discrimination and racism become a contest? This new term BIPOC reflects a bad turn for the protest movement.[/quote]
