I mean, how can someone feel bad about eating animals, then turn around and go "sure, kill people, they're worth less than that cow with the beefy tastiness"?

What the hell does that have to do with racism?
Assuming you could find a vegetarian (in it for ethical reasons) who supports war, one would have nothing to do with the other. People who support war generally do it because they feel it will have a beneficial outcome for humans, not because they just enjoy seeing humans die.
How long does it take you to come up with this stuff? Do you have a Rolodex of time wasters?

WHAT? First of all, a vegetarian will never refer to a cow as "beefy tastiness." Those are the meater trolls who find their way here.
Second, one can support a war if s/he believes the mission of the war; there are conservative vegetarians, you know (something I have to keep in the back of my mind). I don't think any of them value the lives of the humans dying in this war any less than they do any of the 10 billion animals slaughtered in the U.S. for food every year. They just think someone else's sacrifice is worth the gains that might be realized.
I think racist is the wrong term here, as it implies favoring one race of humans over another. I'm sorry, but I don't know what the proper term would be.

i always wondered why you were the Prozac fairy.
the answer is, yes. because a vegetarian that supports the war would support the killing of one race, or nationality of people. IRAQies, IRAQites, IRAQiains, whatever.
since ,by supporting the war they know the army will have to kill cows to feed the solders , they believe the people are worth less then the cow.
therefore, if the cow was throw into a lake and the cow floated, the vegetarian, would be a racist.
it is like the "witch test" in "monty python and the holy grail".
only vegetarians that support the war, and know the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow, are not racist.

What the heck here!
What does being a vegetarian have anything to do with supporting the war and racism.
The three things you're talking are not related in any way.
Why would someone who supports the war be a racist?
I support our troops who have no choice, but to do what they are told, which includes killing people, but I do not support the war. If there's war, there's killing. No body really wants to go to war and then have to kill people. At that very moment, there lives have changed forever.
So how vegetarian and racist comes to play, I have NOT A CLUE!
Either your thinking has to change or you should ask the question differently.

I am vegetarian and I don't think the Iraq war was necessary, and I agree with you to a certain extent. But some people honestly seem to believe Iraq was some sort of threat to the US. I don't believe that, but I don't think it automatically means they are racists; that's just way too simplistic. Racism or prejudice about religion may be a factor for some people who support the war, but not necessarily all of them.

Why Why Why are vegetarians always classified as tree hugging animal lovers??? I don't eat meat and I don't care for animals in the least. I hate when people have pets in the house never had a pet never wanted one. I could work as a butcher if it paid enough. I just don't like to eat it. And yea I do care for the environment because uh if we don't take care of it we don't live in it's beauty. So just because you don't eat meat doesn't mean you can't support the war.

It wouldn't be considered racist. If you want to provoke a war in the middle east it could turn into a world war eventually, and that could destroy your race. So not supporting the war would be good for your race, unless you are Jewish.

You know I've never meant a vegetarian who was for the war! Makes sense.
However, you must remember that not all vegetarians are veg for the same reasons.

The word "racist" doesn't describe someone who supports the war. A racist is a person who discriminates based on a person's race.
