Since he can't escape the scrutiny over his tweet that was deemed racist toward Asians, Stephen Colbert decided to address the situation with a segment on his show called "Who's Attacking Me Now?"




It began when his show's Twitter account said that he founded a fake charity entitled "The Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever."




This led to a social media riot that eventually created the hashtag #CancelColbert. As a result, Comedy Central canceled Colbert's show temporarily.




"Folks, I'm still here," he said on Tuesday's show. "The dark forces trying to silence my message of core conservative principles mixed with youth friendly product placement have been thwarted."




In addition, the host insisted that the tweet was aimed to mock the Washington Redskins owner Daniel Synder's new charity named "The Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation."




Colbert included that he only tweets from his personal account, @StephenAtHome.




"When the twit hit the fan," he said, "the brain trust over at my network took the tweet down."




In regard to being a racist, Colbert said, "I don't even see race."




Yet, he was quite impressed how long the hashtag #CancelColbert lasted.




"CNN even took a break from their Malaysian airliner coverage to report spotting what they thought was the wreckage of my show off the coast of Australia," Colbert mentioned.
