[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1032, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47892747'][B]Cultural appropriation: Why is food such a sensitive subject? - BBC[/B][/URL] Earlier this week, a restaurant in New York made headlines for rather unfortunate reasons. Lucky Lee's, a new Chinese restaurant run by a Jewish-American couple, advertised itself as providing "clean" Chinese food with healthy ingredients that wouldn't make people feel "bloated and icky the next day". [URL='https://ny.eater.com/2019/4/9/18301861/lucky-lees-chinese-open-controversy-nyc']It told Eater website[/URL]: "There are very few American-Chinese places as mindful about the quality of ingredients as we are." It prompted a fierce backlash on social media from people who accused the restaurant of racist language, cultural appropriation, and a lack of understanding of Chinese food. [/QUOTE]
