But my read on it is backlash from the over use of people of color as a phrase. Using your DEI example inflating diversity numbers by saying 25% of the org is poc when less than 1% is black and none are indigenous. It's the acknowledgement that in the US the black and indigenous history is distinctly different than the rest of the poc spectrum.

At least that's what I'd like to think is being thought when it is used. But it's mostly used by white folk who've been told they need to update their language to the latest buzzwords so I don't know of it really carries that or any weight.

Actually I'm lying it's used a lot in the queer poc circles which may in fact be where it began as identity is so core to their struggle.
