[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that BIPOC refers to Black Americans (with implicit reference to descendants of enslaved people rather than more recent African immigrants), and indigenous Americans (what we used to call Native Americans or Indians). The term is useful insofar as it refers to two populations that did not voluntarily come into contact with settler, European-American populations through immigration, but instead were forcibly brought here (ADOS, descendants of enslaved Africans) or colonized and persecuted (descendants of indigenous North Americans). So, no, it doesn’t include Asians or Middle Easterns etc.[/quote]
