Yellow Fever Restaurant at California Whole Foods Sets Off a Debate - The New York Times

When an Asian restaurant named Yellow Fever opened more than four years ago in the unassuming Southern California suburb of Torrance, some people were perturbed but kept their opinions to themselves. After all, they thought, how much harm could a single fast-casual restaurant do in a strip mall?

The business expanded, opening another location a few miles northwest on a bustling boulevard in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles. Yet it was only last week, after Yellow Fever opened a third location as part of a Whole Foods 365 store in Long Beach, Calif., that criticism overflowed on social media.

“WAS ‘ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME’ RICE BOWLS ALREADY TAKEN, @WholeFoods @365byWholeFoods????” Jenny Yang, a comedian and writer in Los Angeles who grew up in Torrance, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.

As the Asian-American cultural critic Jeff Yang would note minutes later in a reply to Ms. Yang, there was another layer of nuance: The restaurant’s co-founder and executive chef is an Asian-American woman.

Isn’t Halsey white? Her boyfriend is G-Eazy, a white rapper. Shouldn’t she be upset with him for “appropriating” “black people” music?

Didn't Walter Camp who is white invent football? Didn't James Naismith who is white invent basketball? That's cultural appropriation, cancel the NBA Playoffs right now for every non-white American player. Maybe Tiger shouldn't be allowed on the Tour either, or Vihjay Singh or KJ Choi. Only white Scottish guys.

Doesn't that sound absolutely absurd? Funny how it's always white people who get blamed for cultural appropriation. These left wing morons must have missed the "melting pot" section in civics class.

Anyone see Kanye say slavery was a choice ?

I dont think he meant the literal slaves though. I think he meant today's use of that era in every day life. I think hes saying there are people today that are mentally stuck and enslaved by something that happened 400 years ago rather than being free and bettering themselves. But in perfect Kanye form, didn't express that well.

Is Kanye trying to be the 1st "white" guy to be with Kim?

I don’t understand the cultural appropriation thing.

In that dress article they said it has to do with dominant cultures taking things from marginalized ones. Hello, how can an American take from the Chinese and the American be considered dominant? China’s culture goes back thousands of years, they are a massive country that bends to no one. One out of seven people on this planet live in China. They are not a minority or a disenfranchised group. Their depth of culture far outclasses America and caucasians in general.

The push for diversity and inclusion just seems bent on driving us further apart on racial and cultural lines. These are my toys and you can’t play with them. And the fake outrage over perceived slights is only getting worse.

also China isn't that homogeneous. the Han are the majority but there are plenty of other cultures in China. That type of dress probably "belongs" to one specific Chinese culture and not the collective whole.

I thought the humorous thing was the Vietnamese girl going off about a white girl using a Chinese dress.

"Do you really have a dog in this fight?"

the original complainant was a grown ass man seeking out ridicule on a highschool girl. I cant get past that. leave his own racist and use of racial slur posts to the side... just the simple situation is an indictment on this guys character.

History is built on combining cultures so I'll never understand the whole "appropriation" argument. You're arguing something is somehow racist while being completely bigoted. Makes zero sense.
