Unfortunately it is true that veg*ns aren't necessarily immune from bigotry of various types.From this thread:
"emotionally motivated hippie weirdos"
"under-educated hippie vegans"
"My understanding of hippies shows a hedonistic lifestyle, throwing any perceived shackles to the wind. The whole "peace and love" message the hippy group had back in the day seemed to only apply to other humans, and only in some sort of faux way towards animals. "
Yea all right. Mate, I may swear but it seems that you didn't read the thread.
