    • 2015, Alyssa Teekah, This is What a Feminist Slut Looks Like‎, Demeter Press, →ISBN:
      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.
    • 2017, Libby Chamberlain, Pantsuit Nation‎, page 149:
      Keep yourself educated on the issues, follow BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and other marginalized groups' pages.
