So Koreans don’t have dog farms for harvesting dog meat? The triggered are saying it’s stereotypical of Asians and racist. Since when are jokes not stereotypical?
Former America’s Got Talent judge Gabrielle Union claimed she was cut from the show after urging managers to report moments of "toxic culture," including a joke from comedian Jay Leno she deemed offensive.
Union, the 47-year-old actress who joined the show as a judge for one season, claimed NBC allowed the show to maintain a toxic environment, according to a report from Variety. Both Union and host Julianne Hough were cut from the show after last season. Sources claimed the two were disgusted with how the show was managed and how they were treated.
Those close to the show claimed that Union and Hough were criticized for their appearance. Union, in particular, had been told that her hairstyles were “too black.”
Beyond the personal criticism, the two were upset with how other offensive issues were not addressed, including reports of an offensive joke made when Leno made a guest appearance on the show. While preparing for the show with Union and Hough, Leno walked past a painting of one of the show’s judges and executive producer Simon Cowell surrounded by his dogs.
Leno, 69, joked that Cowell looked at the dogs like they were “on the menu at a Korean restaurant.”
