    "How dare you use a specific case of animal cruelty to challenge people to oppose animal cruelty more generally! This is racism, somehow!"

    Veganism is always racist, or sexist, or imperialist, or homophobic, or whatever other bizarre accusation allows people to justify not changing their habits. It's kind of incredible to watch the mental gymnastics people will go through, it honestly seems like more effort to come up with this stuff than to simply not eat meat.

      I'm not even justifying carnism. Holy fucking shit if I have to listen to another white person talk over me I am going to shoot someone.

      Maybe stop automatically taking allegations of racial insensitivity in bad faith just because you've seen it done in bad faith before.

        No. Y'all always try to shift and hijack the conversation to be about something else because it's the only way to defend your position. A comment about veganism under a post about animal cruelty is not out of place or racist, sorry.
