Content: But, what does BIPOC mean? And why is it one of the hottest (and controversial) words in diversity? BIPOC Meaning
What does BIPOC stand for? BIPOC is an acronym for Black, Indigenous, People of Color. BIPOC (pronounced “Bye-Pock”) is intended to be used in place of “people of color” and is more inclusive of underrepresented groups, according to Cindu Thomas-George, an Experienced Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Advisor, and professor of Communication Studies. In her YouTube video The Evolving Language of DEI: POC vs. BIPOC, Thomas-George gives a case for leaving “people of color” behind and using BIPOC to acknowledge the individual experiences, identities, and histories of Black and Indigenous People. CBS News has reported on the BIPOC acronym recently too saying that: “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.”
