Description

Let's talk through the dos and don'ts of common terms relating to antiracism. We're focusing on terms (like BIPOC, minority, microaggression, and more) that are misused, controversial, and/ or misunderstood. When should I say "BIPOC" and when should I not? Should I say minority or minoritized? What about underprivileged? What does virtue signaling really mean? Why is the term "microaggression" controversial, even in the antiracism movement? What's the problem with saying underprivileged? I address all of these questions and more.Sources:BIPOC: What does it mean and where does it come from?
