Funny enough, one of the top Google results for "white veganism" is this University of Michigan article. Let's see what they describe as white veganism:
I could point out that the author of this article is white as driven snow, but I think it's more productive to look at what Michael Parenti had to say on the subject. He addresses this sort of appeal to cultural relativism in his book The Culture Struggle:
It's not hard to see how this applies to carnism if you accept the premise of animal personhood.
This one really breaks some people even though it's the most obvious - if you conceive of some people as (non-human) animals, then the treatment of human livestock is going to look pretty similar to non-human livestock.
I default to not even talking about traditional diets and traditional hunting because barely anyone can do it anymore - I was with some mob up North a few months ago who would traditionally hunt dugong for use in cultural procedures but haven't got 50 years to let the population recover from overfishing and illegal fishing. There's definitely a tension between cultural relativism and intervention.
Intraspecies humanely slaughtered the "culture" argument with FACTS and LOGIC.

Also, as an added note, I love how she lists Seb Alex as one of her favorite BIPOC vegan creators/activists, even though Seb actually has the correct take on this.
lmao that owns
