Although Corden’s show has been using the recurring bit for years — in which a celebrity has to answer a very personal question or eat a “gross” food — a viral TikTok video pointed out that some of the foods in a recent segment with Jimmy Kimmel featured Asian food, like balut.Kim Saira, who created the TikTok, called the segment “racist af.”
Saira’s TikTok received over 2.8 million views on the social media platform, which prompted her to create a petition on. In it, Saira calls the segment “incredibly culturally offensive and insensitive” and adds that it “encourages anti-Asian racism.” She also lists other foods that have popped up in the segment such as “century old eggs, and chicken feet, and which are often regularly eaten by Asian people.”
“We are holding James Corden and The Late Late Show accountable for their actions, and perpetual harm this segment causes to Asian American communities. At the very least, Asian American communities deserve an apology and this segment to be taken off the air,” the petition reads.
