Only "Vegans Of Color" Allowed At Northwest Animal Liberation Forum Session At Portland State.
According to this, Portland State University recently hosted the Northwest Regional Animal Liberation Forum, which included all sorts of fun workshops like "Anti-Oppression Training" and "Researching Targets."
But one workshop in particular caught the attention of a videographer known as Daylight Disinfectant, because it was called "Vegans of Color Only Discussion Space."
I'm not even making that up. There was a room, reserved at a public event at a public university, exclusively for Vegans of Color. And because the videographer is a person of pallor, he was not permitted to participate.
Just imagine for a moment a group discussion workshop called "White Vegans Only Discussion Space." Imagine the outrage and the uproar.
