No, you're right. It would be valid for you to select Latino regardless of skin color. I'm just referring to how the US surveys are often defined. Latino is under race but there's a separate question asking whether you are Latino/Hispanic.

If you identify as both white and Latino, yes. If you identify as white and Hispanic but not Latino, then no. [In the U.S.]*, Latino is considered a race as well as ethnic identity.

*Edit for clarification

How many users moved away from Lemmy.world to another instance?

My local subreddit, a liberal city, has been banning a bunch of people after it got taken over by anti-choice conservatives who don't even live there.

Some people find it more comfortable than hanging fabric.

Yes, a flexitarian is a part-time veg but still sometimes eats animal products. A vegan does not consume or use any animal products for ethical reasons. If you consume a vegan diet but still buy animal products to wear, clean with, etc, then you consume a plant-based diet but are not technically vegan.

The problem with saying plant-based is that it implies "based on plants" with no rigid definition. Some people think it means "vegetarian but not vegan" or just "mostly plants." I have even seen products that contain animal products that I am allergic to marketed as "plant-based," so it's just not a good term for me.

Ah, that's good to know. It seems their vegan products have "vegan" printed on the front label, so I'll have to keep an eye out in case they decide to carry them in the US.

This term has been around for decades and still, very few people know what it means. As someone who eats 0 animal products 90+% of the time, it's just easier to say "mostly vegan."

Some people will nitpick and say that I mean plant based instead of vegan but the general public knows what vegan means and do not think of plant based as synonymous with "vegan in diet only" so I'll continue to use what doesn't require a ton of explanation.

Do they make vegan ones now or do they all still have eggs?

Plants, especially native plants that I often have to buy on Etsy or some other online store because local shops don't carry them or sell out too quickly. I have also spent a lot on houseplants that I struggle to keep alive.

Congrats on being in a position to be able to do that.
