LA restaurant with 'racist' name is thrown into turmoil after Asian influencer launches 'outrageous' smear campaign

A Los Angeles restaurant has been thrown into turmoil after an influencer launched serious accusations insinuating that they segregate Asian customers in one seating section.

Cassidy Cho was dining at the Great White in Melrose, California, on September 27, when she claimed she noticed that she and all other guests who appeared to be Asian were seated in one secluded area of the restaurant.

Cho posted a now-viral TikTok video detailing her experience at the establishment and showed that all the Asian customers were seated in the building's corner.

'I don't know if it's just me, but they put all Asians in one corner... everybody is white in the main seating area.'

She added that if the next party seated in the corner were Asian, her theory would be correct. Cho flashed the camera over to the newest guest, confirming they were.

After the TikToker left the restaurant, she shared that she thinks they might be putting all the Asians in one corner because 'they're embarrassed of us.'

The eatery, which originates in Australia, have vehemently denied the accusations - brushing them off as bogus speculation which has derailed their business.

Other customers who claimed to have visited the restaurant chimed into Cho's story, saying that they were allegedly also placed in the same area of the building.

'My boyfriend is Korean and they put us in the corner both times we went, oh my god, maybe you're onto something,' one wrote.

A second added: 'I am a person of color - I've been to this restaurant one time and will never go back because of that reason.'

"Great White"??? Stupid Asian lady doesn't know the place is named after a freaking shark!!!

I'm surprised they did not have "Jaws" theme music playing on a loop.

Some people see nothing but racism in the very air we breathe.

Has she considered that maybe Asians like to sit together?

She’s also an “Influencer” and a lot of restaurants, when they see them come in with their cameras sit those in the back because other people don’t like to be bothered as these types sit and talk into the camera to tic tok or youtube.

“Some people see nothing but racism in the very air we breathe.”

The president has been looking for a reason to send troops to California that will meet judicial scrutiny.

Everybody is against racism. Send in the 101st Airborne to integrate the lunch counters!

And while there, make everyone behave themselves too.

In this polarized, internet age, where entire groups of people, usually liberals, are looking daily for something to be outraged about, a program such as All in the Family, featuring America’s lovable bigot Archie Bunker, could never be universally popular, as it was in the 70s.

‘they’re embarrassed of us.’

I assume that English isn’t her primary language, or she would’ve said, “They’re ashamed of us.”

When I want Asian food I look for a restaurant attracting asiand, as far as Asian people go I have nothing but the highest respect for them and others who want o improve their lives not tare everything down out of pure jealousy or hatred as this influenced wants.

My hunch...they are seating them in the best part of the restaurant and providing superior service to those tables.

The problem is easily solved. If you want the best Asian food, look for restaurants with all-Asian customers. They always eat where they can get food like Mom used to make.

The northern polar regions are sometimes called the Great White North—a term that also has nothing to do with race.

There’s a Larry David episode, where he realizes they are seating all the ugly people in one section.

If “She’s also an Influencer”, their stock-in-trade is frequently publishing negative snark and, indeed, that may simply be her personality. One can imagine harm where there is nothing of the sort.

I worked with a lot of Asians and generally found them to be capable employees, often some of the best. Personality wise, the Japanese tended to be fun-loving and the Chinese clannish and a bit superior. The Vietnamese and Filipinos were more like the Japanese. Of course, there were exceptions to the rule in all cases.

hell, if a restaurant sated me in a secluded area with a bunch of other White people I’d be THRILLED!.....As a matter of fact I’d more than likely eat there REGULARLY.

Some people have to always have a grievance.

She was quoted as saying “I Su Yu”
