A large number of American black people don't eat pork simply because of cultural osmosis. The whole "dirty animal" thing. So I don't think not eating pork necessarily means anything.
I view Eli as raise in the Nation simply because of his family, but not a practitioner himself even though most of his values come from Islam. Kinda like how many Americans identify as Christians because their parents made them go to church when they were kids, but don't actively practice the faith anymore.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
