People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has a long track record for racial insensitivity. Who could forget its advertising campaign comparing killing cows to lynching Black people? Now word from Vivir Latino is that PETA is offering its own support to the border wall via advertising. Says PETA:

“We think that Mexicans and other immigrants should be warned if they cross into the U.S. they are putting their health at risk by leaving behind a healthier, staple diet of corn tortillas, beans, rice, fruits and vegetables,” said Lindsay Rajt, assistant manager of PETA’s vegan campaigns.

Great to see PETA can ignore the anti-immigrant, bigoted implications of the wall and make a grab for a opportunity to forward itself, opinions and work of people of color be damned.
