Here's some juicy proprietary information you'll never get from the rest of your tech-bro twitter graph: A decently run Chinese restaurant in Manhattan can mint $500k annually in profit. With great traffic, it can net $1m. Source: first hand interrogation of the owner.

Under what circumstances was that conversation occurring? Did they mention that they achieved this through money laundering?

Cmon let’s not be lazily xenophobic here. It’s actually a fascinatingly profitable genre of restaurant cuisine. So much so that this became a recent controversy: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/12/nyregion/lucky-lees-nyc-chinese-food.html …

I'm not being xenophobic. I speak Chinese and my wife is from Taiwan. The restaurant business is tough and saying Chinese restaurants like going "cash only" is just a statement of fact.

I just want to point out that the first part of your tweet is an example of friend argument fallacy which does not actually give you credibility. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Friend_argument …

Actually you're wrong. I was accused of being xenophobic, afraid of foreigners. I literally love a foreigner. She is my wife. Secondly, I'm not just saying I have a friend. I literally immersed myself in the culture and the language.

I'm not saying you're xenophobic and I'm sure you love your wife. What I'm trying to say is the argument you're using is an example of the fallacy mentioned above and it's better to be avoided when making an argument.

I don't think what I wrote and that "fallacy" are equivalent. In any case, you can't live your life in fear of being labelled racist or xenophobic. I do appreciate your effort to point out a flaw in my logic but I just don't think it's applicable here.
