Vegan Racism - Tumblr Posts

Vegans who insists EVERYONE must eat vegan are racist.

I just got into an argument with someone saying eating animals is morally wrong blah blah and I reminded them that myself as an Indigenous person (ojibwe) our traditions rely on hunting and living off the land, and demanding we stop that is literally.. COLONIALISM.

And they responded back,

"You're not the kind of Indigenous person who NEEDS to live off the land"

and . That was NOT THE POINT.

It's our teachings, our ways of life. No white vegan can take that away. Besides, living off the land and giving back to will ALWAYS damage the land less than people who wear pleather and put microplastics back into our environment and eat quinoa which puts producing countries in drought and poverty.

My young nieces live on a reservation here in Canada, TWO hours away from any store that sells anything besides pop, butter, milk, and bread.

They DO still rely on hunting to get food which would otherwise not be available to them because of active poverty which affects ALL of our First Nations communities.

But once every few months, you will also see them at a Walmart or wherever else.

Indigenous people living off the land doesn't look like people living in teepees and shooting arrows at animals.

It looks like survival, it looks like healing, it looks like FUCK YOU WHITE PEOPLE.

You're racist.
