VICEさんのインスタグラム写真 - (VICEInstagram)「When Afia Amoako became a vegan five years ago, she said she didn’t see herself reflected in the community, which was dominated by wealthy white women.⁠ ⁠ They often touted recipes—”African peanut stew” or “Asian stir fry”—that rely on racial stereotypes, said Amoako.⁠ ⁠ “One, they don’t look like you, and, two, they are appropriating your food. Those are ways to turn racialized people away.”⁠ ⁠ Amoako said she’s also not surprised Black people are turning to veganism, considering health outcomes in Black communities are disproportionately worse than in white ones. By going vegan or adopting nutritious diets, “Black people take matters into their own hands,” she said. But she added that vegetable-rich diets are not new for people of color.⁠ ⁠ “It almost seems like now veganism is a new thing when in reality it's been here for centuries,” she said.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio.⁠ 📸: PHOTOS COURTESY OF AFIA AMOAKO (LEFT) AND EMANI CORCRAN (RIGHT) (INSTAGRAM) ⁠」8月17日 2時55分
