It's always something

WE are amused, this time, but watch it
Some Twitter twit has dredged up a comedian’s skit from 2016 (!) about Asian food, in particular, bull’s penis, and denounced it as racist. The comedian, of course, has grovelled.
If you’re James Corden, you — quite literally — no longer put penis on the table.
The story dates back to 2016, when The Late Late Show host welcomed Jimmy Kimmel for a round of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts.”
Essentially, the recurring game is Truth or Dare involving consumption of allegedly repulsive food.
Featured in the Kimmel installment:
Ghost pepper hot sauceJellyfishFish smoothieBalut (partially-developed duck embryo)Pig blood curdChicken feet1000-year-old eggBull penis (according to National Geographic, a Chinese aphrodisiac)
…
Fast forward to TikTok recently, and a girl’s displeasure with the clip.
User kimssaira posted the video, overlaid by text.
Per Kim, negatively commenting on cuisine originating from a geographic location constitutes judging someone according to their race:
“Um, this TV segment is racist AF. This is Asian food. Balut is a Filipino food. They’re calling Asian food disgusting on live TV. Huh. This is literally racist. This is so disrespectful. WTF.”
Kim went on to create a petition, signed by more than 46,000 at the time of this writing: “Remove ‘Spill Your Guts’ Segment on The Late Late Show with James Corden.”
On Change.org, she laid it out:
“During these segments, [James is] 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.”
… “That means 650,000 people are being influenced to think that native foods from Asian countries are ‘disgusting’ or ‘horrifying.'”
Where’s the harm here? Ms. Kim is happy to tell us:
“Content like this continually perpetuates and encourages harm and racism against Asian Americans in our daily lives.”
And with mock-offense comes, naturally, demands:
Completely change the food presented on his show to something else, or remove the segment entirelyA formal apology statement from James on his show, including steps he will be taking to do better in the future. Funds donated to local Asian American organizations [of course] that are working to help Asian-owned restaurants and small businesses.
Mind you, blacks have been whuppin on Asians, particularly Koreans like Kim, for many decades. Remember the Rodney King riots of 1992, when the mob burned down Korea Town? Al Sharpton inciting his followers to burn out a Korean grocer? So to blame the current hate on a 5-year-old joke strikes me as … stretching. But never mind; that’s today’s world, and the Left wallows in it, joyfully.
But at least everyone’s favorite food joke is still acceptable, until the Chinese take over the Empire.
The Queen is appearing on the quiz show, “Name that Thing”, in which a large picture of the object in question — in this case, horse cock — is displayed on a screen behind the contestant, who is facing the audience; they can see it, she cannot. Three questions allowed.
Queen: “Is it a foodstuff?”
MC: “Possibly, Your Majesty; perhaps more of a snack food”.
Queen: “Is it bigger than a bread bin?
MC: “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Queen: “And will it fit in my mouth?”
MC: “Well, … yes, Your Majesty, I suppose it could”
Queen: “Oh! Is it horse cock?”
