For the food context, it'd be you opening an African food restaurant, that all the white people go to instead of an African food restaurant run by somebody from Africa. Meanwhile, Africans would be looked down on for making and eating said African food when they're supposed to be "integrating" to the local German food.

You're stripping the value of African food from African people, the same as colonialism stripped their resources from their land.

To me, this argument makes no sense at all.

Opening restaurants with food from your culture is pretty much the standard way of doing it and certainly not looked down upon.

All of this sounds racist to me. People are now forbidden to do things if they have the wrong skin color.
