But Liu, who has attained success based on his identity and cultural background, feels that it is his job to gate-keep that Asian culture from anyone in Canadian and American markets who is not Asian themselves or not showing proper enough deference to Asian culture.

Really? Is he gate-keeping Asian culture? What about the fact that the concept of "asian culture" is in itself an ignorant and racist idea because there are many different Asian nations and ethnic groups and cultures.

More to the point: dude on a TV show is asked to give opinions on different business ventures and gives his opinion. Somehow this translates into gate-keeping Asian culture from Canadian and American markets? Bullshit.

That trendy sugary drink that you are never quite sure about it's contents. Those days are over!

Here's the issue for most people. The marketing here is that because this trendy drink is made by strsnge foreign ethnic people you don't know what's in it! You can't trust those asian drinks! But those days are over because white people are making it now, and you can trust our simple ingredients. This has nothing to do with gate-keeping, and everything to do with trying to make a profit off racism and xenophobia. This might be perfectly legal in Canada, I don’t know, but trying to generate outrage about people not wanting to participate in that is bullshit.
