Sketchy Things About Steve Harvey Everyone Just Ignores

Steve Harvey offended members of the Asian community with a cringe-worthy segment that aired on his talk show in January 2017. During the segment, he cracks a few awkward jokes while poking fun at the book How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men. "You like Asian men?...I don't even like Chinese food, boy," Harvey quips to the audience (via Variety). "It don't stay with you no time. I don't eat what I can't pronounce."

As Variety noted, the segment stirred so much controversy that Fresh Off the Boat author Eddie Huang wrote an op-ed for The New York Times titled, "Hey, Steve Harvey, Who Says I Might Not Steal Your Girl?" The show issued a statement on the matter, yet Harvey seemed clueless about the controversy while talking to reporters, saying (via The Hollywood Reporter), "I ain't been laughing that much over the past few days. They're kinda beating me up on the internet right now for no reason. But, you know, that's life, ain't it?"

He finally tweeted an apology: "I offer the humblest apology for offending anyone, particularly those in the Asian community, last week. It was not my intention and the humor was not meant with any malice or disrespect whatsoever."
