Dog-eating jokes are offensive to the Asian community, who have long been stereotyped and linked to the unorthodox culinary practice.
Earlier this week, another TikTok user was accused of racism after posting a video that blamed the spread of COVID-19 on Chinese people eating bats. That video started with a caption that reads “How to cook a dog perfectly.”
