And most of the violence is from other people of color.

Do you have data to support your statement?

Asians are not “people of color?”

Not sure that is correct. Also, what agency or organization controls who is allowed to be a “ person of color,“ and who is excluded?


Check out the constitution.

Tell that to the many Asians who have had racist rhetoric hurled at them, or worse, physically attacked.



Still 4th or 5th place. Sorry, still no affirmative action or special treatment for you.


Yep! And Latinx, you're on notice if your voting trends continue.


Ok, gringx.

In order to distinguish and to focus on issues specifically relating to Black and Indigenous people, the term BIPOC was created.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/BIPOC

"POC is widely used as an umbrella term for all people of color, but now a different acronym is suddenly gaining traction on the internet—BIPOC, which stands for Black, Indigenous, People of Color. People are using the term to acknowledge that not all people of color face equal levels of injustice. They say BIPOC is significant in recognizing that Black and Indigenous people are severely impacted by systemic racial injustices."

I'm confused. You stated Asians are POCs.

BIPOC includes 3 groups:
Black
Indigenous
People of Color

so... aren't Asian's BIPOCs because they are POCs?


You are missing the intersectional aspect. It's not a union, it's an intersection.


So a person has to be Black, Indigenous, _and_ POC in order to be BIPOC? That doesn't make sense -- aren't Black people already POC? Why have the POC at all at this point?


I think you are missing the point. Your reply fails to speak to the intersectional aspect.


The intersection of various shades of people of color. Segregation of people of color.

Got it.

This is so not true if you knew anything about statistics.

I guess it's being not white, which is why Asians are discriminated against in school admissions as well.

I am sick of the racism by White and by BIPOC alike. Just as long as you don't physically harm me, I am trained to ignore racists now.
