People of Colour definition

People of Colour means people who identify as people of colour due to their African, Asian, Pacific Islander, Aboriginal, Indigenous, Latinx, Arab, multiracial or other relevant non-white background, and “Person of Colour” has the corresponding meaning.
People of Colour. 2 means Non-White racial or ethnic groups; the term is meant to be inclusive among non-white groups, emphasizing common experiences of racism. The term was introduced as a preferable replacement to both non-white and minority which are also inclusive because it frames the subject positively; ‘non-white’ defines people in terms of what they are not, and ‘minority’ frequently carries a subordinate connotation. The phrase is not used to refer to Indigenous peoples, as they are considered distinct societies under the Canadian Constitution. When including Indigenous peoples, it is correct to say “people of color and Indigenous peoples.” It can also be used as the acronym, BIPOC, which references Black, Indigenous, and People Of Colour. While this term has become increasingly common, it may not be familiar or acceptable to all audiences.
