i was just informed that a vegan company based out of portland, oregon US is claiming to have made a breakthrough in “Asian cuisine.” they premise the necessity for their product based off of ignorant, disrespectful claims -

CLAIM 1: “the number of vegan alternatives [to fish sauce] is staggeringly small” -  to which i say do you think maybe you’re just ignorant? that you didn’t grow up SE asian? so you don’t have access to our vegan fish sauce? are you saying that it doesn’t exist because white people can’t have it? because surely you aren’t so deluded to think that SE asian buddhism didn’t mean that veganism was a thing there long before it was a thing here, in the white american world? do you think that that white supremacy and first world veganism have colluded to make everyone think that non-white vegans don’t exist or that we do but we’re just doing it wrong? because i assure you, it exists

CLAIM 2: fish sauce is “gross.” i don’t know where to start with this one. i’ve let this culture’s white supremacist anti-vietnameseness translate into raging self-hate long enough to still tolerate this disrespectful “FREAKY EXOTIC ASIAN FOOD” bullshit. fish sauce is vietnamese blood. you cannot begin to understand its role in our culture. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, you know your veganism is shit when you rely on old racist tropes to promote it

yeah yeah. fuck you too.

After getting on snapchat and seeing an old friend back home say nigga 1 too many times… It’s just really annoying because I’ve experienced too much racism from non black people of color in the past….

idk it’s just so annoying when people use the “if black people don’t want other people to say nigga then they should stop using it” argument…

First of all, it was a word that we reclaimed! It was used to break us and we took it back as a way to survive our oppression.

And I really hate the “well it’s in hip hop culture so the younger generation just sees it as a trend” argument…

First of all, no.. That’s a cop out. That argument is used to lessen the idea of black people getting upset over non black people using the word. It’s like saying we are overreacting because everybody is doing it….

Like there are so many words in the English language and yall wanna say nigga so bad but still hate black people… Gtfo…

When it all boils down to it NOBODY wants to be black until it’s time to say nigga…
