Yeah! Around 8 percent of the black population is vegan while its only 3 percent for others.
Edit: just wanted to add some context. The black vegan community is rooted in many different religious aspects, but today bc of the higher rates of diabetes within the black community there is also a vibrant modern community as well. I feel like veganism is presented as an upper class hipster thing but if you travel to majority black areas of major American cities their are many vegan restaurants. It’s off the beaten path of most tourist areas which is why this is a random aside: but I find the best way to see a new city when on vacation is to take the bus! Goes to many areas normal tourists would never go.
I’m not disagreeing with you at all but could you please provide a source for the 8 percent statistic? I’m honestly just curious cause iv never heard that before
