would you order Chinese food?
« on: March 05, 2020, 03:15:04 PM »
In all seriousness, would you order chinese food? The cooks are all asian, many probably illegals. Who knows when they traveled back and forth, who came to visit them.  My dad wants to order chinese food for the Purim seudah which includes 30+ guests. I told him not too and he thought I was crazy.  Thoughts?

I believe none of the confirmed cases in the NY area are Asian, so that just seems unnecessary.

It might be stupid and/or ill-informed, but I don't think "race" has anything to do with it.ETA: It's a geographic concern, not a racial issue.

If you're in NY Support a fellow Jew, order from Eden Wok in New Rochelle. His business is suffering because of this.

Sorry, profiling chinese restaurants because of their supposed illegal Asian employees isnt racism. Its stupid, ill-informed AND racist. Thank you for bringing that to our attention.

I am sure it is. I know many people Jews and non jews who wont go near a chinese restaurant.  I was asking others opinions here but I know many ppl feel this way..was curious who feels comfortable.

You're more likely to come in contact with someone who traveled to China at a DDFer Purim seudah than a kosher Chinese eatery in NYC.

It absolutely is. Boycott the Italian restaurants too. That would just be xenophobic.

If you are nervous then place it in the oven to reheat.

What evidence do you have that the people that prepare the food in these restaurants were exposed and are illegal? You and all those that assume that are racist.

As I said in my ETA, the (misguided) concern here appears to be geographic, not racial.

Illegals dont usually travel back and forth.
