When???
Does this crap end, or does it???
Two Canadians founded a boba tea company. Then the "anti-racist" mob came for them.
It all began when Sébastien Fiset and Jessica Frenette, a couple of Quebec entrepreneurs, started a bottled bubble tea brand called Bobba (officially Distribution Bobba Inc.) and then pitched their project last week on "Dragons' Den," which is essentially Canada's equivalent of "Shark Tank." Fiset and Frenette were seeking $1 million in exchange for 18 percent of the company.
They ended up getting much more than they bargained for: A pitchfork army banging down their door.

So, even though they are working with people in Taiwan to make the product, since THEY aren't Taiwanese, they are 'charged' with cultural appropriation by actor Simu Liu, who was a 'guest' on the show...
Should we be checking who owns ANY restaurant we walk into to make sure it's 'culturally correct'?
Or should we only eat foods that are 'culturally correct' for who we are? And what happens when you have a 'mixed culture' marriage? Say an Icelander married to a Hispanic? One eats only fish and the other only Mexican (not TexMex) foods?
What happened to the days when you were allowed to succeed on your OWN merits, regardless of what you were and what you were selling?
And able to eat or drank what you liked, regardless of where it comes from?


Oy veh! I am Boba Fett up with this schit! - Han Shlomo

Wow. I've seen this before with statements that you can't write Chinese-inspired progression fantasy unless you're Chinese. 🤦♂️
I'm not surprised that Mr. Liu was complaining, though. That "Shang Chi" movie showed that he really can't act and must spin up controversy to put himself in the news, like that lame quarterback, who couldn't throw, "took a knee" back in the day to draw attention to himself. 🤦♂️
Oh, well. I don't drink boba tea, so it's just a tempest in a tea cup for me. 😁
