I had to think a lot about this.

I'd have thought that coming from a background of discrimination would make you want to stop discrimination going on in other facets of life.

Hmm. No. Honestly comparing some of the shit I've gone through to animal discrimination is, frankly, a little insulting. And I'm also busy trying to stop the discrimination going on in the facets of my life.

I haven't chased anyone around with animal rights links though.

Dude. DUDE. Yes, you have. It's the whole reason anyone here is ticked off in the first place.

This is the first time I've heard this. Why do you think that?

It's easy for rich, wealthy White people to abide by Veganism. Minorities that are poor and have crappy access to food, have a hardy time becoming Vegans. But - and this brings up that "accusatory" thing I was talking about - by your definition, those people are shitstains for not doing a better job not eating chicken and stuff. You have to be in a position of privilege to be vegan. It's expensive as fuck and hard to keep up when you've got $20 to eat this week and the closest Sprouts or whatever is 30 miles away.

Do you think wanting to live compassionately towards all beings is elitist?

Again, this is what I'm talking about. It's passive aggressive as hell. Stahp.

I don't understand the connection.

I'm saying that when you go day in and day out wondering why don't people care about this as much as me?, you start equating that to them not caring about your cause whatsoever. Then you start to look at them negatively, then you get resentful and angry because they don't care as passionately about the same things as you do. And it's bad, not every White person is a racist sack of shit, not every non-Vegan is a cold-blooded reverse-Hannibal out to murder all the chickens in the world.

Don't have much else to say.
