UnfairRepresent 04/28/18 4:52:59 PM #1:	Whole Foods sparked backlash after partnering with an Asian restaurant called Yellow Fever that critics called racist and unappetizing. On April 25, Whole Foods announced on Twitter that a Yellow Fever location had opened for business inside its Whole Food 365 store in Long Beach, California. The grocery chain does not own the restaurant, which is operated by an independent franchise with two other locations in the Golden State, SF Gate reports. "Already ready for lunch? #YellowFeverEats has you covered with fresh, customized bowls at our brand-new #LongBeach365 location - now open!" Whole Foods 360 tweeted, sending the Twitterverse into a frenzy over the controversial name. Yellow Fever for an Asian restaurant? That's both unappetizing and racist, one critic said. Super cool that no one in your company, from concept to construction to this tweet, saw nothing wrong with this, another detractor agreed. I love associating the word "fever" with my lunch. Give me the shrimp pneumonia with extra sriracha, another quipped. When we finally came up with the concept, all the names we thought of just plain sucked. Buzzwords like traditional, bamboo, lotus, and golden werent memorable, the restaurant's co-founder Kelly Kim told Next Shark in 2017. One night, we just said Yellow Fever! and it worked. Its tongue-in-cheek, kind of shocking, and its not exclusive you can fit all Asian cultures under one roof with a name like this. We just decided to go for it, she added. The chain's two locations in Torrance and Venice tout themselves on serving Asian bowls for your soul," according to their website.

The concept of reclaiming a racist term is idiotic considering it's a term coined by white westerners in the first place. Just because the owner is also Asian, doesn't make the term not racist.

Soviet_Poland 04/28/18 6:27:05 PM #45:	0atmealcreampie posted... How on gods green earth is "Yellow Fever" offensive? Yellow fever can refer to a mosquito-borne viral illness or a slang term to describe a non-asian's sexual preference or desire for an asian person. The population the article is referring to are people getting upset at the latter connotation. Mixed in are "justifications" about how naming a restaurant after an infectious illness is....distasteful. It's like naming a bar Malaria. At the end of the day, I think it's a pretty benign connotation to name a restaurant for, but I don't blame people for not wanting to eat at a place that references illness, even in a tongue-and-cheek fashion. Businesses are accountable to how the market receives them and it's naive to expect the populace to bend to the intents of the owners. --- https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png <cite>Soviet_Poland posted [p:900475315] in Liberals f...
