  • Vegans still have a responsibility to be anti-racist. POC should be in charge of the dialogue between other POC and I don’t trust whites to be given permission to dismiss criticism of their tone, behavior or unchecked racism towards POC just because they’re vegan in the same way I can’t tolerate white queers being weird towards POC cishet men.

    Intersectionality and empathy should be the bare minimum. Talking about veganism between POC is already like pulling teeth I don’t see how giving honkies an inch of moral license to dismiss intersectionality and cultural sensitivity will help things. They’re still white and throw a disproportionate amount of power when talking to or talking down to people.



  • Since I’ve already been banned from /c/vegan before I could even reply

    Cracker fantasies about punching down and dismissing any POC culture should be discouraged and the fixation on finding permission or moral license to be rude and dismissive towards an imagined POC is bad.

    If a white person reading this ever repeats “Nah I don’t give a shit about following family traditions or whatever. If there are parts of your culture that encourage violence and discrimination, u gotta throw that shit out the window,” it’s not their place to do so, and I don’t trust any community that is 90%+ white with this rhetoric.
