I think most people refer to it as a "white people thing" because of the process of cultural gentrification. White people learned about veganism/vegetarianism and added it to their portfolio of philosophies and lifestyles and aesthetics that they rebrand. For many, when they think of a vegan, they picture a hipster white guy who hates anyone who eats meat and throws paint on people wearing fur coats and constantly advertises how veganism "changed my life and cured my adhd and made me rich". And that's because those types of people absolutely live for virtue signaling. They are so loud that they drown out the original cultural background of where vegetarian and vegan food comes from. And that's not to serve as an excuse for people saying veganism is "white people behavior," but an explanation for why that way of thinking is so common.
But it also probably has something to do with POC being lumped into a monolith, and unfortunately, that monolith rarely includes cultures that are POC dominated. POC are seen through the lens of a white society, not their own culture.
Calling vegetarian/veganism a “white people thing” as some fucking racist bullshit lmao
I am Afro-caribbean and Indian. Firstly India has the highest vegetarian population in the world, and in the Caribbean the rastafari have their whole ital movement/diet - which my Jamaican father is a massive believer in.
Y’know what other countries have massive populations of vegetarians and vegans? Mexico. Taiwan. Ethiopia. The fuck do you mean it’s a “white thing”?

My own Avatar Elk species: Yerítrea 💜🥰
Finally I can show you them! It took me forever to draw the reference to be honest 🫣 I hope you like them! 💜
More information:
The Yerítrea are living in Eywa'tsngal (my own biom I am working on) in the forest. They are sacred to the 3 Na'vi clans who are living there (my 3 own fan clans), especially the Yekape which are having a strong spiritual bond to these animals.
The chief of the Yekape is always a Yerítrea Makto. After the death of the chief, the Yerítrea he was riding will go back to the forest, because they are only bonding with one Na'vi for their whole life. Only the Na'vi who will bond with a Yerítrea and get chosen by one, is worthy to lead the Yekape.
To bond with a Yerítrea is really rare. These Animals are really big and they can do extreme damage with their horns, if they attack. You need to show them respect if you want to get close to one.
The horns from the Yerítrea are even glowing after their deaths and the Yekape keep them after the animals die. These horns are used for spiritual rituals.
Killing a Yerítrea is strictly forbidden and will end in the Yekape trying to avenge the death.
I'm constantly impressed at people's ability to stretch anything to fit an acronym, but it's extremely impressive how well that fits.

Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com
Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.
I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me
