Simu Liu and the "Fake" Boba Controversy

Social media has been ablaze with news around Simu Liu and the boba entrepreneurs that came on Dragon's Den, Canada's version of Shark Tank. They came in pitching their bubble tea company, Bobba. There have been many, many videos made about this on TikTok, resulting in a ton of commentary and memes alike. In this video I break down the entire situation, Simu's stance on cultural appropriation, and the aftermath of it all. Enjoy this detailed walkthrough of one of the biggest headlines in current events (at least in the Asian community). Let me know your thoughts! Were these business people right in their approach on the show? Should they have been more thoughtful or respectful of Asian culture? Do you think they should have been more aware about boba and bubble tea culture, and how large a role it plays in our communities?
