Do any of the Woke/critical theory people know if it's acceptable to say something like this ^ if you explicitly tie it to culture? Is it OK to say some regional cultures place more emphasis on animal cruelty than others?
- Falling3 6y agoIt has nothing to do with being "woke". It's laughably innacurate.
- pjc50 6y agoUnsourced ties to "culture" across a huge region of a billion people and dozens of distinct langauges and cultures? Looks like a smear to me. (also, does "Asian" include India and the Jain, for example?)
- tidenly 6y agoThe thing is, most people saying this only pretend to give a damn because it reinforces the belief they already want to have that Asians are barbaric or undeveloped. It's just back-propogation of conclusions. So people are going to be raising eyebrows understandably if you bring this up randomly without knowing your facts. You can talk about how and historically why some animals were or are eaten in some places in some countries - sure. But that kind of nuanced and historic analysis isn't usually why they're talking about this in the first place.
