[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of church thinks it’s a good idea to recruit newfound members by compelling them to make a homecooked dish to share with complete strangers? I’m with OP on this one being tacky. The way to do it would be for the church to have this event be catered for with the members attending sharing the costs and have new recruits show up and just mingle with no stress about their food, other people’s food etc. The event is missable and nothing screams Lunar New Year about except for getting an Asian person to show up.

I think "tacky" is the wrong word for it, but I agree with the rest of the take.

"Tacky" would be inviting her to an event and letting her discover at the door that there's an entrance fee.

In this case, the invitation seems somewhere between socially inept and racist. [/quote]

Agreed. I also don’t think the potluck attendees would appreciate any authentic Asian dishes. They are probably expecting something they’re familiar with like from Panda Express. Some might even complain about the food smelling or looking strange. [/quote]
