Each person has their own reasons for preferring BIPOC to POC or related phrases, but many of those who do, do so to highlight the discrimination Black and Indigenous people face. Latin American, Asian, and Middle Eastern people still face widespread oppression, but BIPOC seeks to ensure—as the BIPOC Project powerfully puts it—the problems of “native invisibility” and “anti-Blackness” don’t get left out in the conversation. That Indigenous and Black people don’t get erased. Best Words

While some people feel BIPOC is more inclusive, others caution against using terms like POC or BIPOC to lump the diverse experiences of different minority groups under the same term, advocating for people to take the time to specify who they are referring to, not homogenize them. BIPOC is not to be confused with biopic, “a biographical movie or TV show.” A similar acronym to BIPOC is NBPOC, which stands for Non-Black People of Color. This acronym is used to collectively refer to all people of color who aren’t Black, such as people of Asian or Latin American descent, for instance. This acronym is frequently used when an advocate for social justice is discussing the racial injustices that are specifically faced by Black people.
