The Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA), an advocacy group fighting for balanced portrayals of Asian Americans in the media, is demanding an apology and rectifying action from Shane Gillis prior to his hosting of "Saturday Night Live" ("SNL") on Feb. 24. Driving the news: In 2019, videos surfaced of Gillis using an anti-Asian slur — “f*cking ch*nks” — and making derogatory remarks about Asian people during an appearance on "Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast" in the previous year. Gillis also used the n-word, homophobic slurs and antisemitic language in his comedy routines.
