Are Asians PoC? I thought they were not and that was literally the only reason the oft repeated phrase “black and other PoC” didn’t literally translate into “not white”.

So many different terms and abbreviations, for what is just humans..

The most important thing about humans is which ones I'm allowed to attack.

Only when it is politically convenient

I have never heard the suggestion that Asian people aren't considered "PoC".

Some woke people will argue that they are “white adjacent” when convenient (e.g., the Harvard admissions scandal) but also that they are people of color when convenient (e.g., the Atlanta spa killings).

They are racial chimeras. Changing between majority and minority based on the speakers preferences.

According to Twitter we're "multiracial whites".

BIPoC is also often used as a dogwhistle to exclude Asians and Latinos when convenient.

Are Latinos not indigenous to the Americas? (genuinely asking)
Re:Please commit more blatant academic fraud by csande17 on Sunday May 30, 2021 @05:50PM (#27337204)
My understanding is that the term "Latino" includes both people indigenous to Latin America and people whose ancestors were colonists from Spain. The latter group is generally the larger/more well-known one -- that's why "Latino", a Spanish word, is used to describe them.

They can't be PoC because their higher than average success contradicts the narrative of victims.

They’ve recently started using the term “BIPOC” to clarify that Asians are excluded, and when they want to include Asians they’ll say “BIPOC and AAPI”.

No, by any good faith source that I have read, BIPOC does not at all exclude Asians. "The acronym BIPOC refers to black, indigenous, and other people of color and aims to emphasize the historic oppression of black and indigenous people."

Incidentally, one of the co-founders of the "BIPOC Project" is an Asian-American woman.

From the BIPOC project website: “We use the term BIPOC to highlight the unique relationship to whiteness that Indigenous and Black (African Americans) people have”

If it included Asians they would just keep using POC.

European activists have started using BIPOC as well. They don’t seem to realize that indigenous means white in Europe.

Isn't BAME the euro equivalent?
Re:Please commit more blatant academic fraud by vimy on Sunday May 30, 2021 @04:54PM (#27336639)
That’s the UK term. Other European countries are more focussed on the US so they use all the US terms.
