    I never liked the terms BIPOC or BAME (speaking as one, just in case ofc) mostly because of how it kind of implies we’re secondary. Beyond the contexts of US/europe

    I see where you come from, but they were indeed created to give visibility for those minorities in those context. Someone can be a US citizen and a POC, or a German and a POC at the same time, they are not exclusives. In those context the those names make sense.

    Of course outside of those context the words don’t really make sense.
