[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Genuinely curious - are people still using words like BIPOC and micro aggressions?  I live in a fairly red area and was under the impression these weren’t used anymore. Seems very 2024 college campus.[/quote]

???

M'am. I think you fell down in an echo chamber and you can't get up.[/quote]

Are they using different words in your fairly red area in place of BIPOC and microaggressions?  [/quote]

No. In red areas, the focus is on a person as an individual, not as part of a racial group, so there is no substitute word for BIPOC.

Instead of microsgression, in a red state a statement would either be labeled as racist (if the negative statement is clearly based on race) or, if motive is not clearly based on race, as the words of an a**hole. (A right leaning individual doesn’t assume that all negative statements directed towards a minority are rooted in race. Some people are just jerks and treat people of all races poorly.)[/quote]
