Fox News Under Fire for 'Racist' Chinatown Segment

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Civil rights organizations and the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) have publicly criticized Fox News for a recent segment filmed in New York City's Chinatown that they say perpetuates "racist and offensive stereotypes of Chinese Americans."

In the "Watters' World" segment on "The O'Reilly Factor," posted online on Monday, correspondent Jesse Watters went to Chinatown to ask people their thoughts on the 2016 election and China-U.S. relations. Among the questions Watters asked people were, "Do you know karate?" and "Can you guys take care of North Korea for us?" Watters also approached elderly individuals who gave limited or no responses to his questions.

After the segment, Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly and Watters discussed the interviews, and O'Reilly noted that the majority of the interviewees seemed "patient," to which Watters said, "They're such a polite people, they won't walk away and tell me to get out of here, so they just sit there and say nothing."

"They want you to walk away because they don't have anything else to do," O'Reilly said. He also acknowledged that "we're going to get letters" but insisted the segment was "gentle fun."

1. I saw him hassling tourists in Times Square a few years ago

I let a few of them know that this guy was just out there to make them look dumb.

But were Chinese.

4. This is nothing more than O'Reilly's attempt to have a John Oliver of his own.
