Actually it stands for Black, Indigenous, [AND] People Of Color. It’s just a term that has been used more recently instead of “minority” since that’s a little reductive- but it’s not a statement about anything political, it’s just an acronym :)

EDIT: also the POC (People of Color) refers to the many communities who historically faced discrimination/disadvantages because of their ethnicity or skin color such as Latine or many Middle Eastern ethnicities
