Steve Harvey has caused trouble with a new clip from his show.<\/p>\n
The talk show host has come under fire for comments he made about Asian men during his “Steve Harvey Show” on Friday. A clip of the moment began gaining viral attention after it circulated online this week.<\/p>\n
During the show, Harvey shares a 2002 book cover with the title “How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men.”<\/p>\n
“Excuse me, do you like Asian men?” he said. “No, thank you.”<\/p>\n
He said if there was a similar book titled “How to Date a Black Woman: A Practical Guide [for] Asian Men,” it would be “one page too!”<\/p>\n
“‘You like Asian men?’ ‘I don\u2019t even like Chinese food. It don\u2019t stay with you no time \u2026 I don\u2019t eat what I can\u2019t pronounce.”<\/p>\n
As Harvey made the comments, he frequently paused to laugh at his own jokes.<\/p>\n
But plenty of people didn’t see the humor in his bit.<\/p>\n
“This was so not necessary and down right disrespectful,” one commenter wrote on YouTube. Another added, “Shame I’m Asian and I loved Steve Harvey but after seeing this video I can truly see what kind of person he really is.”<\/p>\n
Harvey is yet to comment on the backlash.<\/p>\n
