"White adjacent" is a real term used non-ironically by (at least some) progressives to describe Asians and some Middle Eastern groups.

I was recently informed that the term BIPOC is for every non white person except south and east and southeast Asians.

That one threw me for a loop.

Perhaps there should just be a word for descendants of people with lower socioeconomic status/power/opportunities.

Whoever told you that is an idiot, and the term biopic is also idiotic.

It basically means EVERYONE except white people - I think that does more harm that good

That'd be getting too close to the actual problem in society, we can't have that!

I've heard "White adjacent" before, including someone using it to describe me. I think that phrase, however you might feel about it, has a substantially different connotation than "Honorary White."

As stupid as the term seems the idea that they don't have the same problems that other minority communities currently have and enjoy the same degree of accomplishment and privilege (as much as I hate to use that word) as white people isn't entirely invalid.
