It's extra weird because as of 2015, 8% of black Americans were vegeterian or vegan which is a much higher rate than the general population which was only around 3%.

So if anything, plant based alternatives would be more well received, I'd think.

Hmm that's interesting, any idea on why there's such a big difference?

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

I'm not black and don't really know, so it'd probably be presumptuous to say with any certainty.

I know that several black vegan feminist authors have tied it in with intersectionalism, and a rejection of systems of oppression in general, but as a white dude without a lot of knowledge on the matter, it's probably not my place to speculate about that sort of thing.

Are you implying transparents aren't valid?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not implying anything, what I said is a full formed and self-contained sentence.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alright. Just making sure we didn't skip any puns.

I don't appreciate the implication that I'm being any less then serious.

I mean, there's potato salad with olive oil instead of mayo? Also, just bring some Beyond Sausages or something, it's not like they're impossible to grill.
