Q Dear FGV, I think you are probably a really good person to talk to about this as you seem very knowledgeable and thoughtful - but also very accepting. I have a problem which is making me feel a bit, I suppose, thick, or like I’m not quite grasping concepts as well as other people.
A while ago, I read (in this very magazine!) about how it can be offensive for white vegans to appropriate imagery from black history to promote veganism. I have to hold my hands up and say I have been guilty of this in the past - I have used the language of slavery to talk about the animal agriculture industry.
