Regarding Title VI, the requirement seems to be that 'Artists must identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC)'. If a male who 'identifies as a woman' has to be accepted as a woman (in sports, the arts, universities, etc), does a white person who identifies as Black, Indigenous and/or BIPOC have to be accepted as Black, Indigenous and/or BIPOC?
One question I have about this is: 'What the heck is BIPOC?" - Follow up questions include: A) Who is included in the newspeak designator BIPOC and why?; B) Who decided who is included in the newspeak designator BIPOC and when was the vote taken about it? and C) When did BIPOC become a federally recognized racial or ethnic designator for anyone? I don't see it on the census or anywhere else on Federal Data sites. 🤷♀️
Please help me understand why this is an issue? One of the priorities of the Federal government is to empower and give the same opportunity to historically underserved populations. It is ONE program that targets this population. Should we rid of other programs that target service to historically underserved and marginalized communities? For example, there are programs specifically serving BIPOC populations to address inequities in healthcare, particularly for women and children (also known as MCH under Title V). It's to level the playing field. Equity is different than equality.
“In planning the rollout of ARP funds this year, the NEA encouraged applications from organizations serving communities traditionally underserved by the government, those applying for federal support from the NEA for the first time, and diversity with respect to geography and budget size.”
