How Wrong Can PETA Get It?
PETA is offering the US government money to place advertisements promoting veganism on the US/Mexico border fence.
Not only is PETA now offering to directly fund the racist imperialism of the US but is, once again, showing a serious lack of empathy towards people of color. It is these same people that the ads intend to romanticize.
Now I don't doubt that a traditional Mexican diet is healthier than a contemporary bourgeois US diet, but I don't think PETA has it correct insinuating the diet forced upon the "Third World" by US imperialism is even a choice. (It isn't vegan either!)
It sure is popular with the Animal Liberation crowd to objectify and romanticize poor people of color subjected to imperialism.
Complain to PETA HERE
