MODERATORS
irl I usually see POC or BIPOC used in three ways:
Someone is pissed and wants to weaponize their or someone else's identity and not think any deeper than "you just did a racism becauss that person you criticized? Yeah they're BIPOC". That someone is almost always a liberal and the person in question is usually being validly criticized.
HR types talking about their DEI program.
The nicest and most empathetic lefty on the planet is trying their very best to be inclusive while organizing.
I also try to just say brown or black etc it's just so much less awkward.
