The author does not confirm to the 21st century depiction of BIPOCiness. Author literally actS and sounds white. A BIPOC should never have to conform to white standards. Instead a BIPOC must demonstrate their BIPOCiness by embracing nonbinary transgenderism. Sadly, author does not explore nonbinary sexuality. Author is literally the black voice of the KKK.
