is standing firm in his decision to call out one business for cultural appropriation ... after facing off against the owners on a"Shark Tank"-esque show.
Liu first spoke out during their pitch when Frenette suggested consumers were never"quite sure" about what was in bubble tea ... prompting the"Barbie" star to defend the Taiwanese drink.He added ..."Hang on, hang on. I am quite sure about its content, but continue." He noted ..."There’s an issue of taking something that’s very distinctly Asian in its identity and ‘making it better,’ which I have an issue with."Frenette and Fiset later defended their partner is based out of Taiwan ... and creates their recipes.
He continued ..."I started this venture company for a lot of reasons but really primarily to uplift minority entrepreneurs. Not only do I feel like this is not happening here, but that I would be uplifting a business that is profiting off of something that feels so dear to my cultural heritage."
