The owners of a Canadian small business are the latest victims to have their dreams destroyed by the insane woke virus! The ideological assault, and now viral video, took place on the Canadian government-funded television show Dragon’s Den—a Shark Tank-style series.
Quebec City entrepreneurs Sebastian Fiset and Jessica Frenette, owners of Bobba—a new health-centric bubble tea company—appeared on the show in hopes of landing a financial investment for their young startup. But after being accused of cultural appropriation by guest judge and C-list Marvel film actor Simu Liu, they’ve more recently found themselves, and their company, sinking in hot water.
Year of the Karen
During the now infamous television appearance, the innocent duo showcased their innovative company, which takes traditional unhealthy asian bubble tea and transforms it into a much healthier and just as delicious alternative.
Liu, a Chinese-Canadian actor and investor, had a mega meltdown over the potentially industry changing idea by stating: “There’s also an issue with cultural appropriation. There’s an issue of taking something that’s very distinctly asian in its identity and ‘making it better’ which I have an issue with.”
While other fellow ‘Dragon’ investors appeared visibly uncomfortable by the Chinese Karen’s unhinged tantrum directed at the French-Canadian entrepreneurs, Liu continued to rant. “What respect is being paid to this very asian drink that has blown up around the world?” the lead in Marvel’s failed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings film fumed. “I’m studying your can and I am looking for anything that tells me where boba came from and where boba came from is Taiwan,” Liu said. “Not only do I feel like this is not happening here, but that I would be uplifting a business that is profiting off of something that feels so dear to my cultural heritage.”
Mao Your Manners
Liu, who is not from Taiwan, is a well-known bit part actor on unfunny Canadian sitcom Kim’s Convenience, a show which often mocks and reinforces stereotypes about people of asian descent. He has also been featured as a token asian actor walk-on role in Barbie, but has never really garnered the star power to match his white hot emotions.
Following the episode, Liu’s weak fanbase, made up of mostly woke, liberal scumbags, rallied to the so-called actor’s defense and began attacking Bobba with boycotts and even death threats (surprise, surprise—ed). The relentless attacks by the self-described inclusive left forced Bobba to issue an unnecessary apology.
“While it was never our intention to cause harm or disrespect to the community that created and popularized this beloved drink,” the statement included.
Don’t Be Jelly Over Bubble Tea
Bubble Tea was originally invented by the Dutch in the 17th century and later introduced to Taiwan in the 1980s where it evolved into its now well-known sweet taste with iconic jelly bubbles. Despite Liu’s tenuous idea that the drink is a wholly Taiwanese intellectual property, the Bobba founders sourced their ingredients in Taiwan and went out of their way to consult with a Taiwanese boba guru who had blessed their product prior to appearing on the show.
“I want to be a part of bringing boba to the masses, but not like this,” Liu whined during the broadcast, much to the horror of the regular Dragons who take a much more respectful approach to contestants. Despite the disagreement of the Dragons, the Chinese Karen rudely declared he would not be investing in Bobba.
Days after when Liu reluctantly tried to call for calm among his faithful following of mask wearing grifters, the damage had already been done to poor Bobba. The founders were receiving death threats and other investors had backed out of the company after the onslaught of negative woke-faux outrage. The entire bubble brouhaha has left the small business drowning in debt.
Celebrity bubble tea breakdowns
Celebrities, who like Liu, are also not Taiwanese, including The Rock, Johnny Depp, Lucy Lu, Tom Cruise and John Cho all came out in favor of their fellow Hollywood huckster, sucking and blowing at the same time.
Out-of-touch Calgary-based Chinese Canadian food writer and equity consultant (for real?—ed) Carmen Cheng of the government funded CBC says she grew up drinking bubble tea. “When we’re thinking about culturally ethnic foods, oftentimes people from the cultures in Canada or North America are made fun of for our food, our norms, our customs, our dress, our appearance.” The cultural elitist continued: “And then you have someone who maybe, quote-unquote, ‘makes it better.”
However many on Elon Musk’s X platform have rightfully come to defend Bobba.
One user wrote: “There’s no such thing as cultural appropriation. It’s just another ridiculously woke propaganda arm of Marxists. Grow the hell up, people.”
While another user accurately stated:
“@SimuLiu is a BITCH 😂”
In addition to being a race baiting culture hustler, Simu Liu is owner of the sparkling water company Sanzo. Sparkling water, invented and popularized in Europe, has evolved under Liu’s ownership of the company having recently launched a line of ‘asian-inspired’ flavors.
