ANALYSIS: Blacks and Hispanics don’t use terms academics have created for them like ‘Latinx’ and ‘BIPOC’
Chances are if you work or study at a higher education institution, you have heard terms like “anti-racism,” “Latinx,” and “BIPOC.”
But a new poll suggests these are a language of Ivory Tower elites and not average Americans — including the people to whom these terms refer.
The YouGov poll, conducted last week, asked people about 30 “social justice” terms, their familiarity, and usage.
These included “toxic masculinity,” “white privilege,” and “woke,” as well as “patriarchy,” “reproductive” and “environmental justice,” “critical race theory,” and “decolonization”
More than half of those polled had never even heard of the term “BIPOC,” which stands for black, indigenous, and people of color. That includes 54 percent of black people and 51 percent of Hispanics.
