The Canadian drink company, BeaverTails, has faced significant backlash after actor Simu Liu raised concerns about cultural appropriation in their marketing. Liu, best known for his role in the Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, criticized BeaverTails for using a traditional Chinese dragon in their marketing materials without proper acknowledgment or respect.
The controversy sparked a heated debate on social media, with many supporting Liu's stance and accusing BeaverTails of cultural insensitivity. In response, BeaverTails issued an apology and committed to taking steps to address the concerns raised by Liu and other critics.
The company has since announced plans to review its marketing practices and work with Indigenous communities to ensure that their cultural heritage is respected and represented accurately.
