BIPOC is a very specific term meaning "black and indigenous people of color". It's basically only used in the US, and it's used to distinguish people who either were already living in the US,or brought there by force, from voluntary immigrants to the United States.
Since the start of the Gaza Genocide, I see BIPOC a whole lot more, and as someone who's had Arab friends all his life, I see it as a way to exclude them.
