I have to admit that the one tiny silver lining of our horrific current moment is that you just don’t see people shanking each other over stuff like “is it cultural appropriation for a white woman to sell coconut water” anymore

>remembering that people used to knife fight for weeks about how fusion cuisine was imperialism

Some white dude running an ice cream shop said he "discovered vegan ube ice cream," which is obviously barely any different from ube sorbetes, which has been around for decades. Discourse! A couple asian creators made videos drawing attention to this fact and pile on insued. Idk what happened after

I personally think this type of convo is pretty pointless, but it is downhill of asian and white ppl realizing that the stereotypes we each have of each other actually do have an impact on people and aren't innocuous

I dimly recall that one and I’m like, folks, idk what to tell you, I just want to get in there and buy my excessive quantity of kimchi and some of them frozen fish balls like anybody else would
