It's subtle but people do notice! Something small but representation matters...we are not all eating cornbread, my friends... though it is delicious. https://twitter.com/MBowmanScience/status/1477426477423640579\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/AFBLIgOhX6

We literally talked about \u201cAmerican\u201d food right before that \u2026 so I threw an Asian American line

2022 is the year to be #veryasian -- in our mixed house, we like to say, "We all Asian!"\n\nSend noods. Keep the dumplings on the stove.\n\nThank you for the love, let's make something out of it. Now I'm thinking...pic.twitter.com/gJIstEroJh

I'm #VeryAsian and proud to stand with you. America needs to embrace it's diversity, and embrace our diversity as Asian people. We can all Nguyen together.https://twitter.com/MichelleLiTV/status/1477553010461003776\u00a0\u2026

On New Year\u2019s day Chinese people eat noodles to celebrate longevity, dumplings for prosperity, and whole fish as a hope for abundance, to name a few. It is a joy to learn about traditions in other cultures. \n\nProud to be #VeryAsian with @MichelleLiTVhttps://twitter.com/michellelitv/status/1477493641732149248\u00a0\u2026

This viewer is a racist and truly horrible and idiotic person. \n\nEat some very delicious dumplings, whether they are Chinese, Korean or Japanese and learn something new about Asians through food. #veryasianhttps://twitter.com/michellelitv/status/1477493641732149248\u00a0\u2026

Wishing you all a Very Asian new year- if you think talking about eating dumplings on Jan 1 is "Very Asian" you have a month to get very ready for us to go even more "Very Asian" on Lunar New Year\n\n#VeryAsianhttps://twitter.com/MichelleLiTV/status/1477493641732149248\u00a0\u2026

I intend to continue to be very loudly Korean American in 2022 and beyond. #VeryAsianhttps://twitter.com/michellelitv/status/1477493641732149248\u00a0\u2026

She\u2019s right though. What you did was very inappropriate. How dare you push delicious food onto people?! I mean what\u2019s next? A Greek anchor telling me I should enjoy some wonderful flaky sweet baklava?!

Hi Twitter support. One of your\u2026um very asian\u2026 twitterers tweeted about eating dumplings. I\u2019m offended. I mean what if a white person just decided to share their dietary opinions? They would probably be blocked or harassed. Right @RadioFreeTom?
