I liked it when it meant "Black and Indigenous People of Color" and referred only to Black and Indigenous people. However, "Black, Indigenous, and People of Color" separates the first two categories from the latter, and also mixes adjectives with nouns.

Why would you want to divide People of Color like this when solidarity is more important than ever? Plays right into the divide-and-conquer strategy pursued, e.g., by opponents of affirmative action.
