The whole thing dripped of racism, but not just from her, from her whole chef set including her Bon Appetit friends. It just felt real rich for her to be jealous of Teigan and Kondo when we found out that she herself became successful from other people just liking her, but not tellingly the actual Asian people doing the Asian food she was also doing, to the point where, like a lot of white people, she'd merited her struggle and none of her privilege. Because lbr the occupation has a type of bootstrapping/survival mentality that tends to obscure racial and sometimes gender barriers. For people who constantly try to find the next best thing, the chef set is weirdly conservative and very oblivious.

But yes, internet dragging her means nothing when the people who actually had power over her were likely echoing her sentiments.
