bipoc - is this a re-imagination of the blm type movement?

Never heard the term but we discovered it in a description of the movie Tar.

Apparently it means 'Black and Indigeous People-Of-Colour'? Like wtf?

It's stupid. Y'all can bipoc deez nuts.
@BohemianBoo Oh, look who's scared of new words. Big shock.
@LordShadowfire I didn't say I was scared of it, I just think it's stupid.
The concept of "people of color" is dumb too.
@LordShadowfire So disagreeing with a term is being afraid of a term now?

@BohemianBoo Indeed - 'people of colour' is a catch-all for people with dark skin tone and basically a way to say BLM without saying it.
@mksworld But the term is also used for Asians. Plus, there are big differences between Blacks, brown-skinned Arabs, brown-skinned Hispanics, both in culture and history.
Seeing them all as just "colored" is so reductive.
@BohemianBoo Either that, or I'm just in the mood to fuck with people today.

Okay, now you're sounding more and more racist with everything you write.
@LordShadowfire How mature.
@BohemianBoo I get this way after people fuck with me. I don't know. Besides, you've said some kind of racist shit in the past.
@LordShadowfire Not really. You're just filled with white guilt, so you think I've said racist things.
@BohemianBoo See, that's the type of shit I'm talking about. Next you're going to double down on your claim that systemic racism only affects white people.
@LordShadowfire Oh, well that's totally true in America. But that's not racist to say so.
However, systemic racism has gotten so bad, that even thinking it affects white people will get you called racist. That's how you know hatred of white people is extreme. We can't even acknowledge it without being condemned. Not called incorrect, but outright condemned.

Fixed your spelling.
@LordShadowfire Changing quotes is cheating and/or the big gay.

@BohemianBoo BLM is racist because it still makes out there an an inferior and a superior grouping of humans based purely around skin colour.
@mksworld BLM isn't racist. They're just incorrect in thinking that police violence is racist in nature. It's generally classist.

Meh...
