Recognizing groups or particular characteristics of certain individuals is a form of signaling. Usually when people use terms such as POC, they are attempting to endear themselves to the in group. In this case, It's mostly virtue signaling.

Yep. There are no races or sexes on the internet, unless you make it point to let everyone know. Of course it fits into conversation when appropriate, but, in general, it's not necessary to introduce yourself by race and gender.
