in the i published today, i wanted to see how white people vs people who are not white felt about their salaries. i used the term “non-white” but this doesn’t feel right. tbh, i’m not sure the correct term and would like to ask for input. i think it’s important that we look for and talk about salary discrepancies, so i want to find language that is clear + inclusive. i’m very open to feedback on this.
From the conversations I am hearing white+non-white and then POC (people of color)
The term “non-white” still centers whiteness. The term BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color” is preferred.
thank you @Erica Famojure A.
so much better
You’re welcome!
I'm a POC and an intersectional activist, and I was about to share the preferred term (BIPOC), but @Erica Famojure A. did it much better than I would have. It's really important to pay attention to (and dismantle) discourses that still center whiteness.
