On a serious note, the IPV/abuse rates that bisexual women face are absolutely not restricted to “anglo-saxons”. Bisexual women of color are even more at risk of facing domestic violence and intimate partner violence, because homophobia and misogyny are racialized when enacted against people of color, especially women of color. There are more bisexual people of color than white bisexual people in the global bisexual community, which obviously means that proportionally, more bisexual victims of abuse/IPV are nonwhite than white. This goes for sexual harassment, stalking, and sexual violence as well. For example, the first bisexual person to ever successfully petition for asylum on the basis of escaping homophobia was Apphia Kumar, a bisexual woman from India. Not only is she a woman of color, but she is literally a nonwestern woman. 

It’s very much an issue that bi people of color and bi women of color especially have to deal with, and it’s disgusting that our struggles with violence aren’t recognized by anyone, even by white bisexuals.
