It don’t stay with you no time … I don’t eat what I can’t pronounce.” Harvey goes on to laugh at is own joke.Unfortunately, people on social media took offense. “Steve Harvey’s joke about Asian men being unattractive was trash,” wrote one Twitter user.

No matter what color your skin is.”Harvey is scheduled to host the Miss Universe pageant on January 30 in the Philippines, which is home to more than 45 million Asian men.  A rep for Harvey did not respond to a request for comment.
