From The Daily Wire:
SJWs Excoriate Chef Gordon Ramsay For Wanting To Open An ‘Authentic Asian Restaurant’
According to Fox News, Gordon Ramsey stoked the rage of SJWs on social media by announcing his plans to open an Asian restaurant in London this summer. The restaurant, Lucky Cat, would be opening on the site of his soon-to-be-closed restaurant Maze, which lost a reported £3.8 million last year.
"A revolutionary new venture and concept for the group, the restaurant is set to be an authentic Asian Eating House and a vibrant late-night lounge, inspired by the drinking dens of 1930s Tokyo and the Far East," said Ramsay's restaurant group upon announcing the venture. "Just as these nocturnal clubs were once the playground of urban dwellers seeking all things spirited and rebellious, Lucky Cat has woven these notions into the fabric of Lucky Cat, as showcased in everything from the menu concept to the innovative interior design."
But then, the SJWs came out of the woodwork:
No!!! Another celeb making profits off Asian culture & food without Asians at the table! How authentic can that be?! Gordon Ramsay’s cooking up another restaurant, and some people are not quite sure how he’s going to pull this one off. https://t.co/DMi1tRCnvw # via @HPAsianVoices

I would love for @GordonRamsay to actually NOT join the ranks of the many white people that are capitalizing on Asian culture without putting equal effort into giving Asians seats at the table of equity. https://t.co/A6zIBkJAes

These are just two tweets - the link to FOX News has a lot more.
Given what I have seen of him online, I am betting that he has a very low threshold for this kind of kaka. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when these dipshits started throwing their tantrums.
If this sounds familiar, The Daily Wire has the back-story:
The outrage against Gordon Ramsay recalls what happened to two white women, Kali Wilgus and Liz “LC” Connelly, of Portland, who had to close their burrito stand after leftists accused them of stealing when they explained to Willamette Week about how they became obsessed with tortilla-making after traveling to Mexico.
"I picked the brains of every tortilla lady there in the worst broken Spanish ever, and they showed me a little of what they did," said Connelly. "They told us the basic ingredients, and we saw them moving and stretching the dough similar to how pizza makers do before rolling it out with rolling pins.”
After opening the stand, Kooks Burritos, the business thrived until leftists trolled it into oblivion. Mic.com and The Portland Mercury lead the charge.
"Because of Portland’s underlying racism, the people who rightly own these traditions and cultures that exist are already treated poorly. These appropriating businesses are erasing and exploiting their already marginalized identities for the purpose of profit and praise," accused The Portland Mercury.
Kooks Burritos eventually closed, which the papers called a "victory."
Here is a little thought experiment. For every non-white person who feels offended by Chef Ramsay's "cultural appropriation", let them go one week without television, cell phones, online shopping, driving a car, riding a bus, using a light bulb, using a refrigerator (including heat pumps for climate control), using anything with an electric motor.
These items were all invented by white men. As a member of this class, I feel triggered and angry that you would so heartlessly appropriate these sacred items from my culture and use them for your own wants and needs.
For a much larger list, Fred Reed has an excellent politically uncorrect essay here: Are White Men Gods?
