1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: And Amanda gem Nation. Very interesting story here, and Australian

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: living in New York City has become the target of

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: a merciless online bullying campaign because she's selling sushi and

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: the problem is she's white. So there's been some complaints

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: that she is a quote a Colonizer. It's like a

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: Britney Spears Song Carlonized Carlonizer. She's called the shop Sushi Shila,

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: So she's not pretending to be Japanese. If she was

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: pretending to be Japanese, that would be different. But she's

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: wearing like a gi and gay I saw then that

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: would be terrible. Is that Japanese? Yeah? Gi? What's a gee?

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a Japanese thing. It's like the

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: kung fu outfit. That's not Japanese. Oh God, to remember

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy Barns used to wear. She's not doing that, she said,

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: And as she says, she sells Australian style sushi, including kariaki, chicken,

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: spicy tuner avocado. The things that have been a fusion.

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: I guess throughout all these years. The California role was

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: invented in Australia and we do the long sushi no

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: one else in the world does the long sushi. Apparently,

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: you know how we have the long roll. Yeah. Well,

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: she's been accused by a particular chef of cultural appropriation.

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: And he says, if you don't see why this is

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: a problem, you are the problem. And one of his

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: followers has said the contradiction and cognitive dissonance is maddening.

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Who's this guy though, Oh, here's a chef. Where is

25
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: he from in North Carolina? Is he a white guy?

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: He's not a white guy. I don't know, he says. Here.

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: The last thing, anyone, this is what he has said.

28
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: The last thing anyone needs a blonde hair Australian white

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: woman appropriating Japanese cuisine. She's this is what's interesting because

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: and people have come to her defense. And as someone

31
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: here says, the first and most obvious thing is this

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: deranged standard is only ever applied to white people. It

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: never goes the other way. You would never hear a

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: pizza place being bombarded with negative reviews because it's owned

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: by an Asian person, or joint being protested because it's

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: run by Hispanic woman. You'd never certainly never hear anyone

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: telling a black chef what sort of cuisine he or

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: she's't allowed to cook based on their race. I've just

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: read a novel called yellow Face, which is about a

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: woman writing about Japanese history, and the same sort of thing,

41
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: was it Japanese maybe Chinese history? There you go, my mistake,

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: but the same sort of thing is is it cultural appropriation?

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: She was kind of passing herself off in a different way.

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: This is a very different story to what's known as Yellowface.

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: She's saying, I'm Australian, I'm cooking. She's calling it sushi shila.

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: I do not understand the sensitivity. But she's been so harassed,

47
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: she's off TikTok, she's sort of closed down all the

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: social media. So what she's supposed to make meat and

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: free bed two fruits for disease, that's right, because that's

50
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: all is a wide Australian you're allowed to ever cook.

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: That's all you can make, which in a way is

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: disrespectful to incredible multiculturalty that we have here that we're

53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: so proud of. This is where we come to. As

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: I said, this is probably only one guy complaining, and

55
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: then all of his followers got piled on. And this guy,

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: we don't know where he's from, well no, no, no no.

57
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: He plans to open his own Puerto Rican Japanese fusion restaurant,

58
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: that old genre, one of the faiths
