Asian American groups are calling on NBC to part ways with Jay Leno, a guest judge on “America’s Got Talent,” for racially insensitive jokes he allegedly made about the community. - NBCAsianAmerica
“We understand that humor often can be used to try to connect, open doors, or defuse a situation,” Jiny Kim, vice president of policy and programs at Advancing Justice | AAJC, told NBC News. “Unfortunately, Leno's attempt at humor serves no purpose and plays on stereotypes that are hurtful and close doors on understanding our diverse community.”According to Variety’s report, fellow judge Gabrielle Union had called on producers to report Leno’s joke to the network’s human resources.
“Jay Leno has repeatedly used this tired stereotype throughout his career — it was offensive 17 years ago, and it’s still offensive today,” Jiny Kim added. “This behavior must stop.”
