"I'm Concerned": Simu Liu Just Criticized This Business For Cultural Appropriation, And It's Ignited Some Heated Debates Online

"What respect is being paid to this very Asian drink that has blown up around the world? And is it in your teas? Is it in your product development?"During the third episode of the season, one business pitching their idea was a bubble tea company called Bobba based in Montreal. They sell grab-and-go-style bubble tea, including regular bottled bubble tea, to-go packs of popping boba, and an alcoholic bubble tea drink.Their pitch started out light and easy.

"It's a good question because our best partner is in Taiwan, actually. So they make all the recipes, all the boba," Sebastien explained."We travel to Taiwan; we speak with them. They're part of our team. It's really important for us. So that's the best part — that's the cultural part of our product."When it came for investors to make their offers, Simu had something very valuable to say.

Bobba, the business, did end up making a deal with investor Manjit Minhas. But ever since the episode aired on Oct. 10, clips of the pitch have gone viral on social media, with tons of users discussing their thoughts on the situation: Simu Liu calling out two white business owners for creating a knock off Boba tea was the best thing evergirl if it’s new FOR YOU doesn’t mean it new to THE WORLD bsff.
