Is this an example of culture stealing or is she out of line?

    I don't like how she went about it but she is clearly right. The tea shop is name: Trap Tea, The Boba Plug...that's straight up appropriation. I don't like all the yelling she was doing, she should have just kept it pushing and not supported. Lastly, she was right in calling that dude a coon, if he didnt agree he shouldn't have opened his mouth.

    Rather she has a point or not; I got some mixed feelings about going around filming people on your cell phone without their permission.
    But what that gotta do with some of the most anti-Black racists in Black communities appropriating our culture?

    I don't know. I think filming people and calling the racists and coons is not going help the black community.
    I don't agree with her method either but I don't think we should let the method stop us from seeing an Asian business, using our culture, and not appearing to hire any of us. If we turn our attention towards the sister then the Asians get off the hook which happens a lot. Once again, I think the way she went about it was stupid but that's besides the point, the point she wanted to show is some Asians were appropriating our culture after a whole damn year of trying to make us the face of Asian Hate. We can't lose sight of that because of someone recording in a store.

    I've seen it myself, Asian people using 2Pac and our slang in their stores but won't hire any of us and treat us like shit. She has the energy we all need to start having but refined...instead of yelling just stop shopping there. Coons should be called out too...

    Imagine if it was as the reverse...Asians would implode...some shit like Samurai Soul Food owned by black folk. Shit I been cooking I might just do it

    Yup and not one Asian would have opened their mouth to defend the Black guy. Matter a fact, there wouldnt even be any Asians in there patronizing it.

    This is so true. This has to be called out, no matter what. Recording it is also a way of getting the word out. Maybe she didn't have to act like that but either way she got the point across.

    Yes girl I don't know why anyone is caping for any asians. I stopped shopping their stores because they are so damn disrespectful.
