Veganism Is Cultural Appropriation
Many assume that veganism makes you a good person. However, there are exceptions. Jona Weinhofen is a militant vegan. He is also a thought criminal, having tweeted this:
Meat eaters be like “vegan food looks and tastes gross”
And then eat something that looks like leftover dishwater pic.twitter.com/QtaEU9zNyl

How dare he point out that this slop looks like dishwater? It is politically sacred non-Caucasian cuisine!
The thought police at Quartz chew him a new one:
Jeff Yang … launched a well-informed critique of the vegan’s throwaway insult, pointing out that it ignored the context of privilege and abundance that many modern, Western vegans benefit from, and echoed race-based and neocolonial tropes.
Yang (who has written for Quartz) notes that many of the foodstuffs that are central to today’s meat-free lifestyles actually came from the non-Western food cultures that vegans like Weinhofen now critique. As is often the case with appropriation, the originators of such foods have not benefited from the explosion of popularity in the wealthy world…
Wait a second, this goes way beyond Weinhofen being a racist for not pretending that the Chinese hotpot looks tasty. We have stumbled onto a shocking revelation.
White veganism is cultural appropriation!
Because veganism as practiced by white Western culture *is* neocolonialist. It harvests and expropriated ingredients and preparation techniques from nonwhite cultures to create expensive foodstuffs that many people in their origin cultures couldn’t hope to afford.
