Kim Saira’s petition and thoughts about James Corden’s The Late Late Show arrive in the midst of a climate in which Asian communities have been the target of much hate and violence.
The petition also asks for an apology from Corden along with the steps he’ll take to improve in the future.
In addition, it’s been asked that donations be made to Asian American organizations that are assisting Asian-owned restaurants and small businesses.
On the petition’s official page, Saira states that this kind of programming “continually perpetuates and encourages harm and racism against Asian Americans in our daily lives.”
