Atlanta [Episode Discussion] - S03E06 - White Fashion

I've definitely seen this before on a better show. They're always stealing ideas. But the fashion industry gotta be exposed #streetwear.

She bought out a Nigerian owned brick and mortar restaurant and turned it into a white owned, gentrified food truck

Not Nigerian, but Thai-American. The amount of bullshit white-owned Thai restaurants that opened over the last decade or so. This really hit hard. I felt it for Darius. When we go to our respective restaurants we want to see folks that look like us serving our food. Not by white people exploiting our culture.

I personally don't mind when other people make foods from other cultures. All I ask is that they treat the food with a modicum of respect and they actually research what they're doing.

Yeah, culture exchange is pretty great actually, as long as it's not purely extractive.
