LA 2009 hey, I think veggies in LA should March next year’s Los Angeles’ Cesar Chavez’s parade. Cesar’s parade is the ONLY parade in America honoring a vegetarian! The Hispanics have a culture of ruthless Cock Fighting. This is still practiced in many Countries: Legal and illegally. (yes, even in America) The Hispanic diet encourages dangerous high blood pressure and diabetes. They are one of the few cultures that still continue to add lard to food. Their favorite drinks are SODA. The whole family drinks soda like they drink water. Men are not considered “macho” and made fun of/ostracized of if they eat vegetables instead of meat. Let’s somehow outreach to the Hispanic People. == April 10, for those who are going to Green Festival; I recommend, parade with us for a 45 min at 12:15pm. Then take a 10 minute bicycle ride to Green Festival. It’s very close by.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I cannot believe that SF Bay Veg let this email through. This email is wrong on so many levels, chiefly being that it is grossly racist. Secondly, it's aimed at activists in Los Angeles. I'm curious as to why this slipped through the cracks and if it isn't a slip, why was it posted? ______ On Behalf Of sunny [sunny_outdoors] Wednesday, April 07, 2010 3:14 PM'sunny'; Subject: costume inspirations for future parades http://www.vegparadise.com/news82.html850 people, mostly in costumes!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Thank you, Winnie, for sending this apology. I appreciate your willingness to reflect on Laura's message and share your message publicly. And, as I wrote you privately, I know you have good intentions. Also, some food for thought: some consider the term " Hispanic " offensive due to its centering of Latin@ identity around White Spanish conquerors. I stopped using the term after reading the following at http://www.theunapologeticmexican.org/glosario.html#hispanic ----- hispanic- A word invented by Richard Nixon. It attempts to convince those who use and hear it that all Latin@s are necessarily related to Spain, as the word references the country of Spain. I do not use this word. This word exists to eradicate the reality that Mexicans are Indians. " Hispanic " refutes Brownness. " Hispanic " references the fair, White Spanish conquerers. While it is true that Mexicans can have both the blood of the conqueror (Spanish) as well as the conquered (Indian), there is no reason to focus on the conqueror, and exclude the original inhabitants of Mexico...unless it is to continue the conquest linguistically. I am not " Hispanic. " I am a Mexican American. ----- Victor winnie wrote: an apology, someone was upset, what I wrote about the Hispanic diet. that person is right, I shouldn't generalize -- The Vegan Ideal: http://veganideal.org/ Veganism as Anti-Oppression: http://loveallbeings.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 We're getting on a tangent and will be booted out soon, but thanks for the explanation of the term Hispanic. It became popular after " Chican@ " and " Latin@ " went out of favor. My question is: Isn't " America " named after Amerigo Vespucci, part of the conquering clan?
