If leftwing culture warriors are the most oppressed people in the history of the universe, as they're always insisting, how come they have so much extra time to bicker over Luxury Concerns?
DEAR PRUDENCE
My White Girlfriend Told My Black Mom That Eating Vegan Is Like the Civil Rights Movement
My mom refuses to talk to my girlfriend until she apologizes.
Dear Prudence,
I'm a biracial (mom is black, dad is white) man, and my girlfriend is white. We’re both vegan, but my girlfriend is much more vocal about it. We recently went to my home for dinner. My parents aren’t vegan but prepare vegan food when I'm home. Over dinner, my girlfriend began comparing eating vegan to the civil rights movement, which my mom found offensive. I tried explaining to my girlfriend why these comments may have crossed the line, but she gets really upset. I don't know how (or if?) I should try to talk to her about it again, and Mom refuses to talk to my girlfriend until she apologizes, and my dad sides with my mom.
