Animal rights’ group Peta said this about milk and white supremacy – the only 11 replies you need
Animal rights’ group Peta has had lots of eye-catching campaigns over the years and doubtless make many good points – we’ll leave that for you to decide – but we’re not sure they got this one quite right.
Cows' milk has long been a symbol used by white supremacists.
One more reason to #DitchDairy. https://t.co/EcHYpUmBux

In case that doesn’t immediately ring true, here’s a little bit of what they had to say.
‘As when Christoph Waltz’s character in Inglorious Bastards drinks a glass of milk and a character in a pivotal scene of Get Out sips the cow secretion, dairy milk has long been embraced as a symbol of white supremacy.
Geneticists are alarmed that white nationalists—who are now using milk emojis and sharing photos of themselves chugging milk to celebrate their “whiteness”—are contorting science and using it as an excuse to hate.’
And here’s a taste of what people had to say in reply, beginning with our favourite.

Have you gone insane @PETA? Drinking 'White' milk is a symbol of 'White Supremacy'? Please do some Yoga headstands and pray for your idiocy to drain out of your ears. https://t.co/j3MwcpETxP

Utter stupidity. Milk has been widely used by the common people from Europe to India regardless of skin color. It is an integral part of Ayurvedic medicine, the culture of yogis and ashrams, the lives of Krishna and Rama. PETA's comments themselves are anti-Hindu and racist. https://t.co/U1Tar1i1PV

Progressives: “You know what’s RACIST?”
