[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did the term BIPOC originate? It is dehumanizing and seems to no only serve people who can’t be bothered to see a non-white person as a person. [/quote]

I hate the terms BIPOC and POC.  Should we use “people of no color” (PONC) to describe White people?[/quote]

This is like asking why there’s no Anglo-American History month. Bit&$, do you not understand that every month is Anglo-American History month. For all the whining about liberal snowflakes and wokeness, no group gets more butthurt about the prospect of ceding power and being the center of the culture than white people. [/quote]

Over 70% of americans are white.  Why is it so surprising that society reflects this?[/quote]

For people of college age, 18-24, about 50% of America is white.  So 70% would not be reflective of America as a whole.  Which is the point. [/quote]

The point of what? Are 50% of your friends white?[/quote]

Actually now you mention it, probably 50% of my friends are white. But that is sort of irrelevant.

Point is that if you go to a school that is 70% white, that is a skewed sample. Just like if you go to a HBCU, that population would be skewed too. May be ok for you but may not be something someone else wants in their college experience.  Why is that a problem for you? [/quote]

How is it irrelevant? If your friends don’t match the changing demographics should you dumpm and recruit new ones? Do they span all age groups and religions as well? Why is this only important for college? What about your work place 50% white? Is it evenly split men vs women? What is the point of all this bean counting?[/quote]

My work place was less than 50% white and less than 50% male.[/quote]

Doesn’t seem very diverse if they are all BIPOC women. Don’t you like diversity?[/quote]
