I almost posted this in the 'Humor' section since it's so pathetic and ridiculous.  The segment in question was aired over five years ago but someone went digging, and I mean digging deep, to find something to be offended about.  There was NO vilification of or racism towards Asians at all.  :rolleyes:

I know; their lives must be terribly empty to do such things.

On this I can agree with you 100%, how can this be racist, it is about the taste of food, not race.  There is a large difference between traditional buffalo wings and Asian style wings.  There is no good reason to assume because you like one you will like the other.   Also, a lot of people are very hesitant to try something new.  

I cannot stand her show but she has great recipes and I use them from time to time.

It's like the easy money 15 minutes of fame premeditation that assailed the southern cook Paula Dean years ago. A woman claimed Dean used the N word 20 years before. Twenty years.  This is the latest example of pathetic people thinking they can ruin a life, make money, get famous for a minute, and demonstrate they're stupid enough to think there is a constitutional right in this country not to be offended.

The show 'Pioneer Woman' is shown on Food Network in one or more parts of Asia....  I am wondering whether or not this particular episode was shown there .. and if so whether it might have caused offence? 

 

Never heard anything from Asia about this so apparently not.  Truthfully, I've never seen the show or even heard of it before this accusation came out.

Love the pioneer women, chicken spaggetti recipe. 

Labeling is part of the madness? Strange how far people will go to defend themselves from being places within a group and labeled. It works as a counter control or reverse psychology. Control out of kaos tactic.

Our generation needs a saying,

"Sticks and Stones will break my bones but your labels will never define me".
