Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC)

Black, Indigenous and People of Colour. This is one term or acronym that can be used alongside ‘People of Colour’, ‘Black and Brown people’ and ‘Black, Asian and Minority Ethnicity’ (BAME) in the UK (this acronym is not recommended). While ‘People of Colour’ is commonly used, it has been critiqued as being problematic as it is ‘othering’ to anyone who is not white.
