This incident highlights the contradictions in woke culture. In a recent episode of &#8220;Dragons&#8217; Den,&#8221; Simu Liu criticized two French Canadians for presenting their take on Taiwanese bubble tea, claiming it was an example of cultural appropriation. Despite their assurances about sourcing ingredients from Taiwan, Liu expressed concern over the company&#8217;s intentions to &#8220;improve&#8221; something deeply rooted in Asian culture. He emphasized his commitment to supporting minority entrepreneurs but felt this venture undermined that goal. The situation drew attention online as many pointed out Liu&#8217;s own history of playing characters from different cultures while lecturing others on appropriation.
