Backlash After Boycott Call Targets Asian Shops

A Black influencer has gone viral after urging the Black community to boycott Asian-owned shops.

Supporters say it’s about economic empowerment.

Critics say it’s discriminatory and ignores the racism Asians faced too.

The debate has exploded — with the community completely divided.

I feel her frustration, but boycotting specific businesses will not change the economic drain of our money from within the community. Encouraging our HNWIs, seed funders, entrepreneurs, and mentor organisations will begin the change which will not rely on a call for negative mobilisation.
