Content: And Indigenous people have especially been overlooked in consideration of racism in society. Let’s dig into the concept of how different groups experience oppression in different ways. A Black trans women, for instance, experiences sexism and anti-trans discrimination in addition to racism—a core concern of intersectionality. Intersectionality is the theory that the overlap of various social identities, such as race, gender, sexuality, and class, contributes to the specific type of systemic oppression and discrimination experienced by an individual. BIPOC began spreading in the mid-2010s, in part, to better address intersectionality. BIPOC still includes all non-white people (e.g., a US citizen whose family comes from Mexico, India, or Iran) who have suffered at the hands of systemic and explicit racism in a dominant, white society. But, BIPOC specifically highlights two groups that have especially suffered in the US and Canada, Black and Indigenous people, due to the long legacy of slavery, genocide, and European colonialism. Advocates for BIPOC also cite the fact that Black and Indigenous people have been the most frequent victims of police violence. The extensive protests in 2020 against the killing of George Floyd by police officers contributed to a significant spike in the use of, interest in, and discourse about BIPOC on social media and Op-Eds. In this context, BIPOC was specifically calling out the fact that police brutality has disproportionately hurt Black Americans.
