While BIPOC come disproportionately from immigrant, lower income social experiences, this cannot account for all people. […] The idea that all BIPOC know “what whiteness is about” presumes that all of us go through institutions in the same way and are aware in the same way.
Keep yourself educated on the issues, follow BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and other marginalized groups' pages.

Tone policing is a tactic used by those with privilege to silence those who don't by focusing on the ‘tone’ of what is being said, rather than the actual content. It is when white people ask BIPOC to say what we're saying in a “nicer” way. […]

The prominence of theorizing and detailing racial microaggressions was instrumental in demonstrating—tangibly and concretely—acts of marginalization and oppression of BIPOCs (see, for example, microaggressions.com for an extended description of these). This theorizing also was intended to show how power and privilege were often at the core of microaggressive statements. What is central is that a single one of these, by itself, often is thought of as “no big deal” by the person committing them. Indeed, it is in the collective where they become instruments of dehumanization for BIPOCs; collectively, they create a hostile work or home climate.

Whenever I have explained respectability and its performance to anyone who is not a BIPOC, they have consistently perceived this act of self-preservation as disingenuous. Specifically, when I have told white men about respectability politics, the word “tease” has come into the conversation.

The Expansion/Growth phase has 70% (seven of ten) of the organizations with at least one person who is a BIPOC, and in the Start-up phase, 62% (ten of sixteen) of the organizations have at least one person who is a BIPOC.
2021 October 27, Gene Demby et al., quoting Von Garcia Balanon, “Ask Code Switch: Parents Just Don't Understand”, in NPR[3]:
I've always felt an inner conflict of how other non-BIPOC students interact with their parents and are able to set boundaries. I feel like I have the inability to do this, even though they don't support me going through college, financially or even terms of mental health. How do you set boundaries with immigrant parents that think it's disrespectful to set boundaries?

In 2015 before we started our EDI work, a few of my colleagues and I started a social book group called RADA, which stands for read, awareness, dialogue, and action. This was in response to a hurting community that was affected by ongoing police brutality and the murder of BIPOCs.

This history establishes that race is an externally constructed and imposed minoritizing process reflecting how Whites viewed and humanized themselves, then viewed, oppressed, and dehumanized BIPOCs. This dehumanization compromises the social well-being, and by extension health, of BIPOCs in a range of ways.

The social and political reality for BIPOC is racism. The other answer options assume the client is indigent. The stem does not give any information about the client’s income level and therefore one cannot assume that poverty is of concern just because the client is a BIPOC.
