  • Dear Germans, When someone had a grandfather who was Turkish that doesn’t make their german born descendants Turkish… They are german.

    Dear brits, The Indian guy who’s grand parents were born in Britain… he’s not “the Indian guy”, he’s brittish.

    Dear French, French is not a skin color. It’s a nationality. A black guy can be French too.

    With contempt

    Immigrant descendents in Europe.

    The thing about people’s roots is it’s complicated, messy, and not only an American problem. More compassion and understanding goes a long ways.


  • It is easy to find many other sources with the same statistics. These as I understand them are people who speak 2 languages and not people who have simply learned some of a second language. There are a lot of American people speaking Spanish in the US, of course there are also for example, 1.5 million who speak vietnamese.

    This is broadly true with white Americans when their immigrant background is there already for generations… but a huge part of america does not even speak English at home. America is a melting pot of people from everywhere in the world and they naturally bring their languages, food, and culture with them. It is easy to forget, especially when only looking at specific demographics of a diverse country.






  • Of course there is. Not saying no vegans eat it ever. It could be a regional variable, but I’m speaking about population as a whole, not your local vegan restaurant. Google says 86% of plant based meat is bought by meat eaters. I also work in the field so have some knowledge on the subject. 86% is about right but could be 5-8% high. But in any case, the people who buy it are broadly meat eater, or more likely “flexitarians” .

    And vegans should eat more plant based meats. The better brands are very healthy and it could help them stick to their vegan diets.


  • There’s actually a lot of plant based meat that are chemical / preservative free, Redefine Meat comes first to mind. As there is a lot of animal meat that is full of chemicals, preservatives, carcinogens, and antibiotics use.

    I would only assume most fast food meals, meat ones included, are not chemical / preservative free. That’s a western fast food problem, vegan or not.

    Lastly, vegan people broadly don’t eat plant based meats. Like it get the joke… It’s just broadly inaccurate. Meat eaters, people trying to eat less meat, and some vegetarians buy plant based meats.
