It's frustrating to be in the constant dynamic as professional expert women of color in a world (USA) dominated by the taken for granted "common sense" norm that White people are collectively more of an 'expert' than you. I am not sure how Ahimsa veganism can ever be achieved episodes like these happen. And when we point it out, we are called racist or bigots for pointing out who systemic racism and whiteness are operating even within animal rights, veganism, and the ethical consumption movement in general. Yes, highly stressful situations for us. Please keep on doing the good work, but also take care of yourself.
