Law Prof Argues ‘BIPOC’ Is Not Inclusive Enough For People Of Color

A professor at California’s private Thomas Jefferson School of Law penned an article that argued the progressive term “BIPOC,” which stands for Black, Indigenous, People of Color, is not inclusive enough. 

On June 5, Professor Meera Deo published an article for the Virginia Law Review titled, “Why BIPOC Fails.” Deo argues that the term “BIPOC” excludes Latinos, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, and other communities of color. The professor recommends that people and institutions use the term “people of color,” unless black and indigenous people “are at the center of the discussion and the data.”
