One of the things that I think is unfortunate about BME, and I think the modification community in general, is that it is racially skewed toward Caucasians (or at least that’s how it seems to me). Anyway, I wanted to share with you this with you (by Ron from Sacred Art Tattoo, Springfield, MO) because the strange truth is I have received more “animal rights” tattoos than “civil rights” tattoos. The priorities of modern society I suppose?

Nice bold tat. More animal rights than civil rights reflects the priorities of middle class white privilege, not society as a whole. If you have the terrific pleasure and privilege of choosing your food, actually getting to refuse to eat certain things, why not focus your activism on those who don’t have enough to eat at all? Dietary choices are political insofar as they are a supreme and select privilege in today’s world.
