I was furious 5 years ago that @Edmontonsun would print a restaurant review on @nongbu_korean stating that a Korean restaurant is “too ethnic” and that the server’s “limited” English made her “useless as an advisor” and I’m just as furious today #yeg

What damage does this type of review have?! When an “ethnic” restaurant newly opens and is trying to bring awareness to Edmontonians for its cuisine and culture... but is criticized for being “too ethnic” by one of the largest publications in the city...

That restaurant now needs to work even harder to convince people to try a cuisine or dish that may be new to them. So yes this is implicit racism. And media has a responsibility to create diversity in our content.

Restaurant reviews in Edmonton Sun from a food writer who has a mindset stuck in the 1950s.

"Too ethnic"? I am speechless. And appalled.

And even more offensive is that The Sun left that story up on the site even after it was questioned.
