Simu Liu MELTS DOWN Over Boba Tea and May Have DESTROYED a Small Business?!
Simu Liu accused a boba tea company of cultural appropriation on "Dragon's Den," leading to death threats and harassment against the company, despite their Taiwanese suppliers having no issue with the partnership.
Liu's behavior was deemed "insufferable" and "racist" towards the white business partners, with implications he would "screw them over" if they were white.
The accusation of cultural appropriation was labeled "ridiculous" as boba tea is now globally popular, with people of all backgrounds selling it worldwide.
A brown woman on the show "chewed out" Liu for disrespecting her and her culture, highlighting the controversial nature of his stance.
Liu was "cognizant of the platform" he had, yet used it to "punch down" on a small business, causing them trauma and forcing them to apologize for the harm caused by his words and actions.
Liu's primary complaint was that the company didn't put Taiwan on the bottle, despite this not being an issue for their Taiwanese suppliers.
Simu Liu's criticism of cultural appropriation in the boba tea industry has sparked significant backlash, raising concerns about the potential negative impact on small businesses and Taiwanese suppliers.
