Once she'd finished, she added a fun line ..."I ate dumpling soup. That's what a lot of Korean people do." She later wrote,"It's subtle but people do notice! Something small but representation matters... we are not all eating cornbread, my friends... though it is delicious."
Apparently, though, that quip pissed off one woman who dialed in and left a VM ... saying she didn't appreciate Li's explicit mention of her culture, calling it"very Asian" while adding ..."She can keep her Korean to herself." Oh that sounds lovely!! I’d love to meet this woman, if she is courageous enough to have a conversation.The argument this woman was making ... a white anchor plugging food that they/white people liked to eat on NYD, specifically, would be considered offensive -- and this lady was speaking about a hypothetical double standard she preemptively perceived.
In any case, Li is now getting an outpouring of support from several different colleagues in the field -- including Asian journos, who are giving her props for sharing her story.
Xenophobia is, obviously, still rampant.
reneknottsports Wow! My wife is Korean and we had dumpling soup on New Years.
Where do these people come from?! It’s awful how people think that their way is the only way that is okay. In my home Christmas Day we eat Chinese or Pakistani. I 💜 NY food culture. 🙂
This is a story about a phone call from one idiot and you don't have the phone call. This is not a story.
Dumplings are millions times better than bacon cheeseburgers
Nay. Nothing subtle about that idiot. Just out of curiosity, what would be white people food?
Disgusting remark by Karen
She used to work in Wilmington, N.C. One of the nicest people you will ever meet. She openly talks about her racial identity and being adopted. Incredibly genuine person.
...And here I thought we left Karen in 2021... -ONE.
Karen shot herself on the foot when she opened her mouth.... Graceful tactic for not interrupting her, and allowing her dig her own grave.
This pissed me off. Michelle didn’t deserve that.
