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

Looks like you missed the ube sorbetes fracas that happened in the asian community a couple months back lol

are these similar to the people who think white people shouldn't be in HMart or Uwajimaya?

somewhat: the specific incident was slightly problematic in that a white person needed help finding something and assumed that every asian person in there was an employee and was shocked that they didn't know where it was. in my experience this really never happens outside of this incident

Agreed, also h mart employees are pretty easy to spot (which is why this type of thing is rare, most ppl of any ethnicity will just look for and ask an employee for help in any store that they're not familiar with)

and as long as you aren't gawking at "weird food" directly in the aisle seems like it's fine?
