- renewiltord 2y agoYeah, I do. You don’t need race diversity to have product diversity. My wife is Taiwanese. But her friend who is Korean said “I wish there were Taiwanese noodles at Costco”. How did she do it? She’s Korean. Is it possible for her to know that Taiwanese food is nice. I don’t know. But she pulled off the nigh impossible.
- saagarjha 2y agoYou're being flippant but stocking things that people want is actually far more complicated than this. If you're looking to cater to an ethnic group you have to actually understand what they buy and how. If stock the wrong brands, or you import them from another country that does it slightly differently, then people won't buy your stuff. It's not about "Taiwanese noodles" it's "these are the noodles I would typically pick up at Ranch 99".
- renewiltord 2y agoThere’s better ways than happening to be coincidentally acquainted.
- saagarjha 2y agoYes, by being Taiwanese for example.
- renewiltord 2y agoOne way, but like Afghans can have a history of selling tamales, White people (and indeed Black people and whoever else) can figure this out too. It really doesn't need supernatural genetic knowledge via the spice melange.
