[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree we should get back to the topic. I think BIPOC could mean either:

Black, indigenous people of color (so, black people who were born here and are descendants of slaves, right, not recent immigrants from, say Nigeria.
This would not include the traditional definition of POC, which would includes people of Asian and Hispanic descent.

Black + indigenous + other people of color (so black people, Native Americans, and other people of color, including Asians, Hispanics...)
So this would include the old POC group but put extra preference and emphasis on black POC and Native American POC. 
Is this right? [/quote]

We’ve been discussing it. We’ve been discussing how to define POC and who is white.[/quote]

No. This is not defining who is white. Start your own damn thread about being multi white racial!

This is whether BIPOC is to be used by only those that could go by ADOS or if it includes other people of color that have traditionally used the term POC about themselves.

If you’re someone that has traditionally been defined as POC then you would not be confused right now over whether you are white or not. True people of color have never been confused about it. If you don’t know, them chances are that you are NOT.
