Can we talk about white veganism for a second? The kind espoused by folks like Jona here, who begins his Twitter bio with the Sanskrit word for “nonviolence” but then craps on Asian cultural expressions in order to advance his neocolonial beliefs? https://twitter.com/jonaweinhofen/status/1078512183393148928?s=21 …

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.

Tofu, tempeh and quinoa are fancy Whole Foods goods for white folk but they were subsistence proteins in Asia and Latin America first. And while poor local farmers initially benefited from white interest in their fare, mass commercialization has subsequently crushed them.

Do you know how white people first fell in love with tofu? Via the concentration camps where Japanese Americans were “relocated” in WE2, where displaced farmers grew soy and created makeshift tofu production plants to supplement the military-style western fare they were served.

The US government pushed Japanese Americans off their land and put them in a mass racist/xenophobic incarceration. White farmers took over billions of dollars of real estate, while Japanese Americans farmed dry patches in the desert to make cultural sustenance for their families.

The soldiers assigned to guard Japanese Americans in the camps became familiar with the fare being prepared “on the side”—it was better than the mess hall food—because of the hospitality of captives toward their captors. Tofu was “weird” but they developed a taste for it.
