"The Late Late Show" host James Corden is facing a wave of online backlash over his "Spill Your Guts" segment with a new petition deeming it "incredibly culturally offensive and insensitive."
The Change.org petition calls for the removal of the CBS show's segment in which guests on Corden's show have to answer difficult questions he gives them, or eat the "gross" foods that are presented to them.
"[M]any of the foods that he presents to his guests are actually from different Asian cultures," the petition states. "He's presented foods such as balut, century old eggs, and chicken feet, and which are often regularly eaten by Asian people."
The petition adds, "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," the petition says. "So many Asian Americans are consistently bullied and mocked for their native foods, and this segment amplifies and encourages it."
The petition, which was started by Kim Saira, has already garnered more than 29,000 signatures.
