James Corden is being canceled. No, not for being criminally unfunny. Like, so unfunny, it's as if he spends hours every day honing his craft to be this unfunny. Corden is being canceled because he upset a TikTok user, Kim Saira. That user is Asian. Corden has a segment on his showed called "Spill Your Guts," where guests need to either answer questions or eat disgusting food. That food is occasionally Asian food. Somehow, this ties into the rash of anti-Asian hate running wild throughout America. I don't get it either, but here's the petition.
He's presented foods such as balut, century old eggs, and chicken feet, and which are often regularly eaten by Asian people. During these segments, he's openly called these foods "really disgusting," and "horrific." In the wake of the constant Asian hate crimes that have continuously been occurring, not only is this segment incredibly culturally offensive and insensitive, but it also encourages anti-Asian racism. So many Asian Americans are consistently bullied and mocked for their native foods, and this segment amplifies and encourages it.
Close to 13,000 people are demanding these videos be removed from the internet and the segment be stopped immediately. Here's a clip of a recent segment. No Asian food here, but plenty of animal genitalia.
