In the wake of a series of shootings that claimed the lives of 8 people in the Atlanta area, including 6 women of Asian descent, James Corden looks at the alarming rise in violence targeting the Asian community, and how hate speech and action are linked. And it’s well past time we all address the hate that is at the center of these crimes.
I’m Asian and I see so many people don’t speak about it. It’s ironic.
Reply#Asianlivesmatters . There you go I said it .
ReplyDirect link between words and actions. That is the rub.
ReplyReally appreciate James. He has always represented Asians in his show. No other hosts have had more kpop idols or interviews with them as much as James has
ReplyMy heart goes out to all who have experienced or have friends, family, and/or neighbors who have have been victims of hate crimes. I’m so sorry and will be praying for all of you with many tears.
ReplyBy calling Covid-19 “Chinese virus” or “Kung flu”, there is no doubt that Trump is directly responsible for the hate crime and attacks on Asian Americans in the past year.
ReplyThanks to good old Donald, watch how much damage he has caused just by having him a a position of power. The damages he has caused is both systematic and structural.
ReplyСпасибо, Джеймс
ReplyTrump fuels racism in the U.S!
ReplyLove you James,, from a Bangladeshi🇧🇩,an Asian..
ReplyI’m chinese, and I’m proud to be. This is so fucking wrong. People have risen up about blm, but now that asians are getting hate, it doesn’t matter?
Reply😢😢😢
Replyfuck yes Anti-Asian hate crimes go unreported on the media.
ReplyThe public needs to be aware, even if the Asian population is only 5% of murica.
I am Vietnamese and American. I am a first generation immigrant to two wonderful parents who fled war and came to America for a better life as most of our stories go. I am NOT a virus. Standing by my fellow brothers and sisters in the Asian community and hopefully it can bring change for the better. I also am sending love to the 8 families who are emotionally impacted by this tragedy that should not have happened ❤️ thank you for speaking on this James, but I must add that the gunman isn’t a run of the mill gunman; he is a white supremacist that murdered innocent lives.
Reply2020 and 2021 really are a nightmare.
Reply😔
Oh America, why are you so racist and dumb? Even obsess with it, and proud of it
ReplyThank u James..if only they understand that feeling of losing a family
ReplyLove you James for bringing this to Light
ReplyI don’t think you can talk anyone into murdering someone. And if you believe the guy who commited these murders (you’d expect he’d know better than most people why he did it), they had nothing to do with racism or misogyny. The truth in this case doesn’t really fit the narrative though, does it?
ReplyAs an Asian,
ReplyThank You James Corden.
You know, those racists want to remind us how the Jews were treated under Nazis days, we want to remind them how the Nazis ended.
ReplyThank you. The only late night talk show host that opened up, spoke up and brought awareness to this. We appreciate this
ReplyThe culprit of all the racist hatred towards the Asian people is the Taiwanese.
ReplyThis made me cry. Those poor people. If this ever happened in New Zealand, I’d be terrified. I can’t imagine what it’s like for Asians in America right now. 😭
ReplyOk.. I’m not going to be diverted by a new narrative.
ReplyWhat about Muslim
ReplyThe average ‘B’ person is 5 times more likely to violently victimise an ‘A’ person than is the average ‘W’ person.

(2) US Census Bureau
If you take a closer look WHO is almost exclusively committing those crimes, then you wouldn’t want to address them.
ReplyTo say that was anti Asian shooting is like saying the Virginia tech shooting in 2007 by an Asian gunman was racially motivated. Stop saying it’s a racially motivated shooting!!!! It has to do w mental illness in both cases.
ReplyNative American tribes are from Asian ethnic Indian tribes. European colonists slaughtered American Indians
ReplyWhy did 848 people dislike this??
ReplyI thought Africa is the most ignorance continent in the world now I’m wrong it’s America actually
ReplyAs an Asian immigrant, I feel like Black Lives Matter but Asian Don’t Matter in this society
ReplyOur ancestor’s mistake was to divide the continent into six parts
ReplyI dont care if yall hate asians or not, just dont harm or kill them. Just let them be and live why go and pick around certain race? Asians are fearing to even go outside and get killed just because of their race. Just stop hate . Why???
ReplyIt’d be interesting to see a summary of all these Asian hate crimes by the race of the perpetrator for the past 30 years, and the conclusion we could draw is: white supremacist…not, wait what….
ReplyI am a Bangladeshi residing in Singapore, I’m disappointed in people. Let’s stop all these hate. I do get this is becuz of the ongoing pandemic. Also, literally every minority race faces some sort of racial bullying by the dominant majority race in every country this needs to stop.
ReplyThank you James for using your flatform to raise awareness on what’s happening concerning ASIAN… 🙏
ReplyTo be honest, black people are the most racist on Asian people.
ReplyWelcome to America, Land of hates, racism, and prejudice!
ReplyBecause the whites want to rule the world…..
ReplyThe dislikes probably came from the Morons that support Hate Crimes
ReplyFortunately, the left tell us that black people can’t be racist, so at least we can rule that as a motive for these attacks.
ReplyIs this about China and the COVID?
ReplyAh, just answered my own Question.
Corden, one more racialist priest who is going to lecture us on race. I care about people getting killed, not their race. You and your woke friends are starting a race war, my friend.
Replyamrican asians means does they include Indian sub continent too
Replyㄹㅇ 무식한새끼들임 혐오범죄는
ReplyWell, you better re-fund the police then.
ReplyAs an asian, I feel like america is only for black and white. I feel like no asian is what they want. I am a same human and born this way.
ReplyWhen I really cared BLM, people around me never cared about Anti-asian hate crimes.
Racist:”Go Back Asian”
ReplyAsian: “Bruh Which country?”
Any energy you release on the Universe will come back at you, good and bad, some will caught you off guard when the least you expected.
ReplyThis is just sad….. Asians aren’t the cause of the virus, it’s no one’s fault! People need to understand *EVERYONE* are human beings, no matter what your race, colour of skin, sexuality ECT is!!
ReplyI dont understangd rasism for real.Whats the purpose of hating someone just because we’re a different race.Its no like we’re a diffrent species.We’re still human just like you
ReplyOne reason why i love James. . . ❤
ReplyPeople are ridiculous. Instead of focusing on if this virus was intent or not, we should be working hard to eradicate it so we can start moving back to normalcy. Investigate later. This virus just shows exactly where people’s minds are at ! They are blaming Asians for the virus and losing so much because of them when they’ve always hated Asians !! How can you hate someone for being born into a life they hadn’t chosen ? How can you hate someone for loving every inch of themselves !why are the racists and xenophobes soo mad !
Replyi think he should address that to black americans, but it would be racist.
Replyalso he should note that he is not generalizing
As an Asian American public school teacher, I’ve recently started sharing some of my stories and experiences with my students and in return, many of my students have as well.
Children have asked me if I had the virus in my classroom. Children have told me to make them Chinese food. Children have called me Bruce Lee. Children have pulled their eyes back and have said “Ching Chong” to me.
As a student I’ve dealt with a lot of racist comments and behavior but I’ve never said anything to anyone my whole life, I just felt upset inside.
As an educator, I know this is learned behavior from adults in their life, media, and the society around them. I’ve learned that while I am sad from these comments and experiences, the best thing I can do is teach them about my experiences and culture, and use my voice to help them understand my story, and perhaps similar parallel stories of others.
It’s not part of the curriculum, but we’re having some of the most memorable and impactful conversations we’ve ever had. I’m fortunate to be in the position I am to work with the next generation and I’m hopeful for their future based on our conversations.
Thank you for using your platform to share these voices, it’s helped me share mine with my middle schoolers as well!
I’ve started a YouTube Channel to help students with math remotely. I’m hoping to monetize the channel and use 100% of the proceeds to pay low-income students of color to tutor younger low income students of color that look like them.
I believe representation matters, and the more POC we have in education sharing their stories and educating our diverse children, the better off we are.

ReplyStop Asian Hate : Yes
ReplyStop Chinese Hate : No
I’m from Singapore. Thank you James for using your platform to spread awareness on this issue. Sending love and blessings xx
ReplyI’am Pilipino.am proud to my country Mabuhay Philippines.
ReplyI still remember the day when “black lives matter” is what most of us talked about. Now its Asians. What’s next people? Can y’all realize that we, as humans are the same and should unite with each other. Because of the covid, now most people are being ignorant and have no tolerance. Please fix yourself, geez. 😭 I’m rlly sick of this as an asian..
ReplyCan we all just accept the fact that were all different and that’s ok, that’s what makes the world what it is today. Life is too short to be hating each other dont we have better things to worry about.
ReplyThank u so much corden for this awareness.😊❤
Thank you for speak up about this issue.
ReplyThe solution is to immigrate more Asians into America. Simple as that.
ReplyBlacks went through the same thing when they were a tiny minority surrounded by whites. Now they are a very sizable chunk of America so people don’t do it as much to them but do it to Asians since there are still so few of us in America. INCREASE IMMIGRATION OF ASIANS TO AMERICA to solve the racism problem.
Thank u for addressing.
Replyhello from tasikmalaya city west java
Replythe real usa people is american native people.
Yes thank u
ReplyI’m only 12 but We’re all human it’s no one’s fault we are all unaware of what might happen in the future we should not blame anybody regarding to this virus we should HELP each other together during this virus we are never meant to suffer God is with us
ReplyMight it have something to do with Asians being labelled as “white adjacent”?
ReplyOf course our papa mochi is asian by heart
ReplyWhen will the media *finally* address RASIST, HATEFUL ASIANS against BLACK’S? Black Childhood memories: “Excuse me sir/mam, but you owe me another 10 cent change.” *”You TROUBLEMAKER!”* You get out of my store now!!! You never come back again!!!” Scaring the Sh** out of 7yr old kids. #Asianhate #rasistasians #blacklivesmatter #accountability
ReplyMost of them comitted by the blm followers…
ReplyUSA is country of immigrants.
ReplyAll kinds of races are welcomed.
All Lives Matter.
Just looked up the stats . Blacks hate asians
ReplyDeath penalty for hate crimes. If we don’t kill them all, they will surely kill us all one by one! Words or rallies won’t affect them. We have seen it so many times.
ReplyWhat do we call a person solving a problem with an old solution that didn’t work and expecting new results?
ReplyHate crimes have been happening for centuries and we still haven’t learned how to solve it!
ReplyImmigrants telling other immigrants to leave their country! Hilarious!
ReplyThe biggest tragedy is that they are alive and well and their victims are dead!
ReplyHating doesnt mean we have to hurt or take someone else’s life, nobody is entitled to do that. Hitler was racist, he hated jews, believed that another religion is evil. Look what racism can do, millions of innocent families were brutally killed.
ReplyWe cannot eliminate hate, when there is love, there is also hate; one cannot exist without the other. Same with good and bad, pain and happiness, God and evil, heaven and hell, etc. but hurting people out of racism is unforgiveable. Earth wasnt built for a certain race.
Do you really think they care about what you said? Those people are not even afraid of the government and the law. Throwing them in jail does not bother them. And when they are released, they will do it again!
ReplyI don’t think that the world even care , I’m from north Africa . BTS fans started the hashtag cuz even our boys (BTS ) are still facing racism and death threats and hate comments , but it looks like it’s more than that , American ppl should recognize that all non-americans are humans too , stop thinking that the whole world is just about everything that screams America , the virus probably didn’t even come from asia and no one expected this virus to come , stop thinking that you are number one in everything in music in economy in politic …etc cuz there’s a whole world out there
ReplyI was so harassed in highschool for being Asian and mocked for my plans to go to japan for a vacation as it was near the source of the virus. Even my friends “accidentally” made racist comments
ReplyThank you so much James. May God bless and protect you and your family.
ReplyThere is only 1 race. The human race
ReplyThank you James I’m a Filipino from the Philippines…a lot of people coming to my country, as soon as they step in to our humble country , we welcome them with our both hands wholeheartedly, we don’t anyway discriminate no matter what skin color…acctually a lot of students all around the coming to our for studies, as soon as they finished their goal …they are thanking us how they have been treated well during their long years staying with this country❤
ReplyBlack people are being raced ، Asians are being raced , Muslims are being raced, Latinos , brown skin people like wtf ? are the entire world are being raced by the white people ( specifically Americans )?? are they the only people that considered as a ” human ” on the planet?? who gave them the right? who said white is the only good thing ?? (i’m not saying all of them of course)
Replythat’s ignorant no one can control the way they’d born with , and even if they can , I’d never choose to born as a racist …
Can you please address and talk about on your show Ee Lee? Her story needs to be heard.

We may be dirty, but we don’t pollute other people’s homes
Our eyes may be slanted, but we do not look at you differently and respect your race regardless of your skin color

Black people are targeting Asian Yakuza. It would be better not to travel.
ReplyJust can’t understand what the blacks’ thinking of, obviously what they should do is to stand with the asian americans together against the racists, not to be one of them. They are just losing their friends, losing sympathy, finally will gain nothing. Maybe the blacks need more powerful and visionary leaders of their own. BTW, the asian americans also should get united, no united=no power, no power=no equality.
