"The next time we do that bit we absolutely won’t involve or use any of those foods," Corden said."Our show is a show about joy and light and love — we don’t want to make a show to upset anybody."
“When I first saw it, I was really confused because they had balut on there,” Saira, who is Filipina and Chinese American, told NBC Asian America last week. “Growing up, balut was a super sentimental food to me because I ate it with my grandma and my cousins in the Philippines. So when I saw that it was featured as a disgusting, horrifying food … I was really confused.”
“I have specifically asked for James Corden to publicly apologize on his show, and the reason why I was really specific about that was because I think that it is imperative for his hundreds of thousands of viewers to understand the harm that mocking these foods, rooted in Asian cultures, has on Asian people who still eat them,” she told NBC Asian America.
NBCAsianAmerica I’ve had Chicken Feet they’re fucking disgusting. My Asian gf gave them to me. You’re allowed to say ethnic food sucks. Here we go: 1). Tortillas suck 2). Pho sucks 3). Pasta sucks 4). Cornish Hen sucks 5). Peking Duck Sucks 6). Falafal Sucks 7). Caviar Sucks
NBCAsianAmerica WTF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME YOU PUBLISH THE SAME ARTICLE. Comments are gone. WHYYYYYYYYY? People, don’t go to this person’s insta, fb, or Twitter accounts, she just wants free publicity.
NBCAsianAmerica Oh Kimmy, get a life. So 40k pampered princesses signed a petition should not stop anyone from continuing on with this segment. Clearly Kimmy wanted her 15 mins of fame. Congrats cupcake
NBCAsianAmerica This is manufactured outrage by . Why are you recycling old news from weeks ago, yet we have the disaster condo complex collapse, a hurricane in Florida and Russia hacking almost 1,000 small businesses. But this is what you’re posting about…🤦♂️
NBCAsianAmerica Can't stand him.
NBCAsianAmerica It was a joke...get over yourself
NBCAsianAmerica Get over it. So sensitive. Who cares? Watch something else!!!
NBCAsianAmerica This is dumb, she has nothing better to do (privilege). And he shouldn’t respond to 46k angry people online.🤷🏻♂️
NBCAsianAmerica Is the tail wagging the dog?
NBCAsianAmerica Holy fuck, I don't like this world. Zero fun allowed
NBCAsianAmerica
NBCAsianAmerica Kim I think you’re looking far too hard to find fault and your sensitivity meter needs recalibration. No doubt the good people of the Philippines would laugh at what Americans eat.
NBCAsianAmerica Just a few months of bitcoin pumping & Trading With 2k -$10k, I'm really greatful to austinsilvafx who guided me through my first bitcoin mining investment. Now I only wish I had more money to buy more crypto cus it's only gets better. A million thanks austinsilvafx
NBCAsianAmerica I grew up eating dog, so I am offended to see that people love them so much.
NBCAsianAmerica
NBCAsianAmerica Food is culture. Why not publicly apologize and retire the bit? A person who cannot apologize ….
NBCAsianAmerica
NBCAsianAmerica The over-sensitivity to tiny things is exhausting. Go have a laugh, it wasn’t that deep
NBCAsianAmerica Perhaps his next one should be ham parts pressed into a loaf in a can, processed cheese food and hot dogs.
NBCAsianAmerica People don’t have to like or eat certain foods and should be able to say so.
NBCAsianAmerica NBC runs 40 hit pieces a day on stars who work for other networks. They are not better than a tabloid at this point
NBCAsianAmerica I'm all about people getting called out for when they are bring discriminatory or racist but this was clearly not his intention and he's removed the segment. Sometimes you just need to move on in the fact that you know you made someone aware of their error.
NBCAsianAmerica This is the epitomy of lunacy.
NBCAsianAmerica Sounds like Kim Saira needs to get a life.
NBCAsianAmerica I hope he doesn’t apologize. It’s a funny segment and not anything related to racism.
NBCAsianAmerica Al Sullivan's Journal: How media slants stories:
NBCAsianAmerica He has nothing to apologize for.
NBCAsianAmerica If anyone really thinks that James Corden has mean or racist intentions, they’ve clearly never listened to him. It was about eating foods that most people find “icky”, not a slam to their origins. He stopped the segment. There are plenty of things to focus on changing now. Geez.
NBCAsianAmerica I am in the UK and he gets on my nerves!!! I bet he is annoying!!! God knows how he has done so well over there in the 🇺🇸USA, frankly based on his behaviour, I would definitely do a better job !!! 😉😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
NBCAsianAmerica It's a joke about food! One crazy person complains and the world stops.
NBCAsianAmerica Dearest Kim,
NBCAsianAmerica Another manufactured controversy by the professional victim class. Stop pandering to these people.
NBCAsianAmerica This desperate hunger for 'apologies' is insane
NBCAsianAmerica Don’t apologize JamesCordin, this is just ridiculous. It’s food! We all make fun of food. This girl needs to find something else that really matters to “beef” about.
NBCAsianAmerica Why should he apologize You don't like what he does Don't watch his show Simple as Enjoy the bacon
NBCAsianAmerica Pussy
NBCAsianAmerica This is ridiculous. It diminishes real attacks on another's culture. It's food for goodness sake. It's all about an individual's gag reflex. Nothing else.
NBCAsianAmerica
NBCAsianAmerica I am Asian and not offended by the show.
NBCAsianAmerica WorseThanHitler! Cancel him immediately! This is a crime against humanity. Am I doing it right? 🙃
NBCAsianAmerica Play the fool Jimmy
NBCAsianAmerica How ridiculous. People need to grow up. It’s nasty food on a silly game. I don’t care if people love chewing on a chicken leg. I find it nasty. But I don’t complain to those who don’t.
NBCAsianAmerica
NBCAsianAmerica Pretty hilarious 😂 you’ve learned nothing from the woke crowd Corden - anything you do is never enough.
