Oh I should also note regarding the letter from BIPOC Animal Welfare Collective;
I don't agree with their statement; firstly, making fun of how someone pronounces BIPOC is not inflammatory towards BIPOC, it would be inflammatory towards the person pronouncing it. And to try to destroy a few individual's careers (It would destroy their animal welfare career since it is such a small industry) over the assumingly incorrect pronunciation of the BIPOC acronym is alienating to the BIPOC community. If it is not an egregious racist act, they should instead be met with calm but firm education to give them room to grow. Not destroy their passion and give BIPOC the reason their dream career has been dashed. That's just shooting yourself in the fucking foot.
