Simu Liu sparked a conversation about cultural appropriation and bubble tea after an appearance on Dragons' Den.

On the show, a company called Bobba presented their business plan and explained how they were putting their own spin on bubble tea (also known as boba tea).

After he took a sip from a bottle, Liu said he thought it tasted "fine" but that he was concerned about "this idea of 'disrupting' or 'disturbing' bubble tea." He mentioned the possibility of cultural appropriation, saying he takes issue with the concept of "taking something that's very distinctly Asian in its identity and, quote unquote, making it better."

劉思慕登上《龍穴》節(jié)目后，引發(fā)了一場(chǎng)關(guān)于文化挪用和珍珠奶茶的熱議。

在這期節(jié)目中，一家名為Bobba的公司介紹了他們的商業(yè)計(jì)劃，并說明了他們將會(huì)在珍珠奶茶（又稱為波霸奶茶）中加入自己的風(fēng)格。

劉思慕喝了一小口，他說覺得味道"還行"，但他擔(dān)心這種創(chuàng)意會(huì)擾亂珍珠奶茶文化。他還提到，這種行為有可能涉嫌文化挪用。這家白人公司把一個(gè)明顯有著亞洲特征的產(chǎn)品拿去搞了一個(gè)所謂“更好的版本”，他很反對(duì)這種做法。
