What is BIPOC?
The acronym BIPOC, referring to "black, indigenous, and people of color", first appeared in the 2010s. By June 2020, it had become more prevalent on the internet, as racial justice awareness grew in the US in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. The term aims to emphasize the historic oppression of black and indigenous people.
