Have non-whites given up on the term "BIPOC"?

submitted by [deleted] from self.debatealtright

It seemed that the term "POC" caught on enough to where mainstream sources were using it. Then non-whites insisted on BIPOC ("black, indigenous, and people of color").

But BIPOC hasn't really caught on, and they can't just go back to POC when they insisted that everyone change to BIPOC. So they're stuck without a term right now.

Granted, when your worldview is a lie, comical problems like this are inevitable, but this one really highlights the delusion.

The problem with BIPOC is that it opens the door to Europeans claiming indigeneity in Europe, which is obviously a problem.

Europeans need to start playing by that same game as all the minorities get to play in the US and CANZUK.

No political party in Denmark recognizes genetic and historic Danes as native or indigenous. I asked the political leader of our oldest and formerly biggest anti immigration party to do just that and he refused. This should tell you that we cannot do that.

The political structure and those in it needs to be replaced.

It's Black/Indigenous* People of Color (not "AND people of color"). The term is meant to exclude Asians and Middle Easterners. "Black" is all that really matters right now though.

*somehow this includes immigrants from Latin America

I don't think so. This term is more popular than ever, but it hasn't been as mainstream appearing mostly within social justice circles.

BIPOC is basically the racial lines as they are actually perceived right now. I'm still confident asians are going to get a white pass in the near future.
