2. i was pushed out of the biz (lesson: sign more contracts!)
3. yes, resto is called We Suki Suki. long story 😉
no, TBH it was a rough translation for “we really love you” and is well intentioned. there was a bit of similar outrage culture online in 2012 too, so ive seen this movie before.

I cannot depend on the AsAm community to stop shit. This hits close to home. Making a joke about my heritage. White guy feels he gets a pass bc the owner is Viet. She doesn’t care. But this is a constant issue. In addition, living in GA, “progressive” folks did not care. I’m done pic.twitter.com/7zw4vVZt0J

Wow, millions murdered by US troops, countless My Lai Massacres & this is what you took away from all that.

When’s the WWII late night spot opening? Atomic bomb shots? Holocaust themed dress code for the staff? SMH
