Can someone help me understand how BIPOC is intended to be more inclusive? I'm genuinely asking. I'm a PoC and BIPOC makes me feel more excluded and unseen.. Why is every other PoC a group category?

I keep getting confused about BIPOC because I’ve seen it explained different ways , as either Black + indigenous ppl of color OR Black + indigenous + people of color. I do think the first def, as I’ve seen it explained, is meant to highlight how African-American and Native people didn’t really have a choice in being “American,” and therefore highlights their specific experience of oppression, while other POC through immigration, had more of a choice. (That qualification does seem to erase African immigrants, who are ostensibly Black but might not necessarily ID as African-American.) I say all of this as a mestizx Latinx person who still has no clue how to properly ID as POC or BIPOC.

Oh for sure, I myself was born American, but I acknowledge that the choice my parents made as refugees to immigrate to the US is different than the legacy lived by those who were already here facing settler colonialism or being forcefully brought to the US in shackles.

I’ve been doing some reading about it too. Based on what it I’ve seen I feel like it’s meant to be more specific and empathetic to the experiences/context of Black and Indigenous people (and therefore more inclusive).

The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.

Ok. I know that social media has made a lot of AAVE slang popular. I get that. What I find cringe is the obsession with using it 24/7 and the assumption that adding "lit" or "that's cap" or "slay" to things will make them do numbers. Someone in a meeting this morning suggested we use bffr and said it means "best friend for real." Like at least research the term before you try to use it.
