We acknowledge that labels for race, ethnicity, and other social groupings are socially constructed, politically influenced, and fluid. While racial categories were originally created as tools of stratification and oppression, racialized people have also reclaimed labels, pridefully embracing the community and collective agency built within these terms. And while none perfectly capture the unique positionalities and experiences of people, we take great care as we operationalize and use them. We use both the terms “of Color,” to describe the aggregate of various racialized people, and Black, Indigenous, and people of Color (BIPOC) to distinguish and recognize the unique positionalities and struggles of distinct racialized people
