its just so irritating when white ppl only care about the abuse that mostly latine immigrants face when they want to complain about vegans as if everything that they eat isn't also a product of the exploitation of people of color

#like im not just talking abt immigrants in the usa here like the AMOUNT of food & commodities that are produced not only in latam but other #parts of the world too #do you know how severely underpaid these workers are #do you know the awful conditions that they have to work under #and do you know how CHEAP these workers have to sell their stuff to the usa so yall can comfortably fill your fridges #and then those same products are returned here all expensive and shit .#and as always these white people dont care about the abuse & exploitation latines face its all about feeling superior to others . as usual #<- mentioning only latines bc that one post was about latine immigrants #also the way theyre all so usamericanized.#not all of us live over there and lots of us actually buy directly from farmers & producers #and i mean like EVERYTHING that they have #food clothing commodities like why do u think they're so cheap #they all come with a price and its always at the expense of people of color especially the most vulnerable aka immigrants and the ones #that live in the global south #and like its really not that hard to look around #and if you ACTUALLY cared about said exploitation you wouldn't be complaining abt others you would be looking for ways to support farmers #& find ways to consume in the most ethical way possible #and consuming 100% ethical is OBVIOUSLY not possible but you sure as hell can try #like this is not to show off or anything like that but if *i* in my global south country in my small ass town can find a way to live #without buying from the big corporations & brands and all of that then you usamerican white person have a million more options than me #so literally shut the fuck up and actually DO something about it
