We passed 41,000 Signatures! As of yesterday, CNN covered #CancelSpillYourGuts!
It was just brought to my attention yesterday that James Corden came out with a statement on the Howard Stern Show. Howard Stern asks him about the criticism and asked if people were being "too sensitive." Corden said: “We heard that this was a thing. As you said at the start, we want to make a show that is full of joy. We don’t want to make a show that upsets anybody.” “… The next time we do that bit we absolutely won’t involve or use any of those foods.”
However, this statement is a non-apology, as he does not actually address that the cultural insensitivities of having the food on his show, and the harm that this perpetuates on Asians who still eat these foods.
This means we must keep going until the Late Late Show releases a public apology on air!
Attend our #CancelSpillYourGuts event TODAY in LA from 4-8 PM! Come by and stand against anti-Asian hate & the Spill Your Guts segment on the Late Late Show, as the show films a few feet away!

TIME: Thursday, June 24th, 4-8 PM
