The story of the Jewish and Chinese immigrants in NYC mixes in a beautiful way.

I have only one place where I disagree with the video, and one amendment.
Firstly, this idea of "Safe Treyf" is really more "Don't Ask Don' Tell" than really being safe, and it's not generally recognized as a thing. Jews were and are very accustomed to inspecting food for being Kosher. After all, we have to inspect rice and grains before cooking them!
Secondly, it wasn't just Jews wanting to eat Chinese food. Chinese restaurants in NYC sometimes courted their Jewish customers with menu items like "kreplach", instead of wontons, making Chinese food appear more familiar.
