Angry Asian Man Picks A Fight With White Girl Asian Food (Truck)

imageAUSTIN, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles ) –A local food truck in Austin called White Girl Asian Food recently came under fire when blogger Angry Asian Man called out the trailer for what he deemed an offensive name and its “oblivious tone-deaf white privilege.”

The white girl,  Bobbie Jo Rice, explained on her Facebook page the rationale behind the provocative name:

“The original name, Com Bun Yeu, implies traditional Vietnamese fare. When rebranding, I wanted to get the point across that our goal was not to make traditional Asian food. I am a white girl cooking my rendition of Asian cuisine. Couldn’t think of a name that was more honest and straight to the point.”

So there.

Would Angry Asian Man be happier if the food truck had a different name, like Rice Truck?

What do our readers think? Big deal, or No Big deal?
