Adam Carolla went off during one of his recent podcasts when the topic of boxer Manny Pacquiao came up.
Carolla started commenting on Pacquiao’s refusal to give blood before a fight to prove he’s not juicing.
Though according to many, the comments slowly started to turn racist as he joked that Pacquiao “prays to chicken bones” and that the Philippines is “nothing but Pacquiao and sex tours.”
But now, the Filipino American community is demanding an apology from Carolla and CBS radio.
A petition has been started asking for Filipinos to demand a public apology. According to the petition:
It seems that time and time again, “celebrities” and “comedians” feel that it is acceptable to degrade Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in public forums. You would never have said such things about African Americans, as you recognize that your career would plummet, as exemplified by the falls of Michael Richards and Don Imus.
What you need to recognize is that racial hate and ignorance about any group is wrong and unjust. And what you also need to recognize is that your hate towards Asian Americans, the fastest growing racial minority group in the United States, can also lead to your career’s demise too.

Hmm. Adam is always joking so I would never take him seriously. HOWEVER I think he crossed the line a little with the Filipino jokes so he should apologize and then let’s all move on!!

Adam Carolla is an Ignorant prick who does not know what the heck he is talking about. “Phillipines, Thailand same thing” come on. Please get an education before you start saying bs like that. How old are you Carolla? He then says Phillipines worship chicken bones? Come on, most of the Filipino Community is Catholic, and some are Muslim. Adam is an idiot who has nothing else to do but criticize a nation that is clearly in need of help. Your a loser Carolla.
