It was never about her cultural appropriation. It was always about her negative marketing techniques that played on negative stereotypes of Chinese food/Chinese.
I've seen a number of Pizza parlors owned and run by non Italians.
Does that mean we should shut them down?
Wasn't about a white woman running an Asian restaurant. It was about a restaurant choosing to use negative stereotyping of Chinese and their food.There was also a big disclaimer on the menu which stated: From a sign at the restaurant......"This entire menu is gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, corn-free, peanut cashew & pistachio-free. Ingredients may be made in facilities that processes gluten, dairy, wheat, nuts. We use non-GMO oil & never refined sugar, MSG or food coloring

Bad marketing....that's all this is.
I think that is just a pretext. It's not uncommon for a restaurant that is doing things different to advertise it.

Yes but there is a definite way to market things.
Just clean food with an Asian flair... OR
Remember that icky, oily, awful Chinese food you are use to getting -- come get some clean food at our place.
Tone is everything.
Apparently the owner did 'apologize' and change marketing tactics and rumor was the restaurant was doing okay...and then it closed -- with no explanation.
Wonder how many other restaurants close din NYC this week.

Yeah the article explained enough to see the intolerance and hostility from certain groups. And I don't agree we're supposed to walk on egg shells around snowflake diversity while we're being constantly insulted and disrespected.

I figure if the restaurant had good food, it would still be in business.
But snowflakes on either side like to create some other narrative.
Hopefully more will follow like Atlanta Bread and other cultural misappropriations. They shouldn't be able to sell that stuff and act as if it's "artisan". For that matter "Whole Foods" should close since those foods are far from "whole".
White Castle.....those little joints ain't a castle! Actually most of the junk being sold for food shouldn't be able to be called food. It's frozen and then thawed representations of actual food.

I'm hoping that was an honest mistake on your part.
