    whenever you see a white vegan argue with a native

    Imma stop you right there, cause I need to clarify. Are we talking about a native-native or a warren-medusa?

      what we’re doing is using identity politics to make the terrain of niche political debates less complicated. the “white vegan” is useful if you don’t like racism but also hate veganism. the “white carnist” is ridiculous, because that’s just a normal, well adjusted type of person, so how could their race and diet have anything to do with each other? a native who is vegan makes even less sense, and it’s unlikely that such a thing could even be conceived of.

      • White vegans are real and have the same contradictions as white queers when it comes to their non-white counterparts and adversaries

        “Anti-vegan” natives are charicatured and wildly overstated but race still an intersection that whites struggle with, I go more into it in my reply below
