after backlash ensued, the entire event was forced to cancel

Hahah.

"in order to best serve our guests, we decided to remove one of our food vendors for Sunday's event so that we could deliver an optimal experience for all"

"give vendors from all nationalities a platform to showcase their talents"

Clearly each nation should get their own event and only their own citizens should attend lest they become offended at the other. I'm sure that is the original intent of "Eat Up the Borders" to keep everyone separate. lol
