Caine claimed that "chin chin" was a terms people in the UK use as "cheers." He then made another video trying out an Italian restaurant. In the video he says: "Today's choice, Italian. Hopefully, unintentionally, less controversial" and proceeds to show the menu and what's on the table. While drinking his pint of beer, he says "chin chin" again, causing some fans to be upset.

One person in the comments wrote: "Getting you off social media so young asian kids don't have to hear your bullshit. We have the video receipts, don't pretend to know Kindness." Another person wrote: "Imagine being racist towards to Asian community, then gaslighting them… ALL w a tattoo he can’t read." A third wrote: "less controversial” maybe don’t be racist next time sir."

Caine replied back to one user specifically who asked him "Don’t understand why you dislike Asians? We don’t cause crime, strengthen society. You’re a joke." He responded: "You’re the 1 hating, I’ve never hated on asians, everything I said was taken out of context, all I’ve got is harassed, bullied, death threats just for sayings we say at home or I say, no harm was meant."

When another user asked him if he was still allowed to attend the reunion, he said that he was "not allowed" and would posted a video about it soon. He was "disappointed but not surprised."
