Zuri, former vice-chair of the charity, said in their resignation letter they had remained at the charity for two years “despite it being a hostile work environment from the beginning,” but they could “confidently say that The Vegan Society is not a safe place for young people, for Black people, for queer people or for any other marginalised people.”

The Daily Mail has managed to find a slightly more ridiculous-sounding angle:
... although I don't see an actual quote by Zuri in the article using the phrase "cultural appropriation", and you can of course trust the Daily Mail to come up with a sensationalist article to make fun of vegans any day of the week, so I would take what they're saying with a healthy grain of salt.[Zuri has] written how veganism was coined by a 'white man' but 'hippy vegan food' is based upon culinary traditions including dal from Pakistan, tofu and wheat from China and hummus from the Middle East.
Anyway, sounds intense!
