Have you heard the term BIPOC? The acronym, which stands for Black, Indigenous and people of colour, seemed to start popping up in conversations regularly following last year’s Black Lives Matter protests. • It’s hard to track down exactly where the term BIPOC came from. The acronym is often used to replace terms like POC (people of colour), racialized or visible minorities. • It can sometimes be written as IBPOC, putting Indigenous people first. • Either way, it’s a term that puts a whole bunch of different people — with very different life experiences — under one umbrella. Some people say that’s useful. Others? Not so much. • Press play to find out more and decide what you think. • CBC Kids News is a website for kids, covering the information you want to know.
