The Daily Show's Ronny Chieng rips the shit out of Fox News

"If you’re gonna be racist, at least get your stereotypes right, you ignorant sack of shit."



Soooo... you may have heard of that piece of shit segment on Fox News' O'Reilly Factor, in which unfunny asshole Jesse Watters sauntered into New York City's Chinatown to do "man-on-the-street" interviews and mock the shit out of Asians using every stereotype he could summon in his limited imagination. It's pretty infuriating.

That's why this Daily Show segment, in which correspondent Ronny Chieng rips the absolute shit out of Jesse Watters, is so incredibly satisfying to watch. Chieng tells Watters to "go fuck yourself," and advises him that if he's going to be racist, "at least get your stereotypes right, you ignorant sack of shit."

Chieng then goes to Chinatown himself to have actual conversations with local Asian Americans and seek out their actual opinions and political views on the elections. Instead of, you know, approaching every Asian as a slant-eyed punching bag for tired-ass cheap shot Karate Kid jokes.

Fox News Airs Appallingly Racist anti-Asian Segment

This is a new low, even for Fox News.

Earlier this week, Fox's O'Reilly Factor aired a jaw-droppingly racist segment about Asian Americans as part of its “Watters' World” features. In it, Fox correspondent Jesse Watters traveled to New York City's Chinatown under the auspices of discovering what Asian American voters thought about Donald trump and the presidential election.

Rather than to approach pollsters and researchers who professionally study Asian Americans' and Pacific Islanders' political attitudes — and who released an updated report this week on AAPI opinions, showing low support among AAPIs for the Republican Party and the race-baiting of the Trump campaign — Watters instead went for a man-on-the-street approach.

Actually, correction: Jesse Watters went for a holy-crap-that's-so-racist-man-on-the-street approach. Because, why bother with investigative journalism when you can instead fill five minutes pretending to report about a growing but largely overlooked elecorate by being an offensive, annoying asshole to total strangers?

Bill O'Reilly hilariously accuses others of taking his Asian comments out of context

Boo friggin' hoo, Bill O'Reilly. So after dropping some of his expert knowledge -- in other words, totally uninformed and blatantly ignorant generalizations -- on Asian people and drawing the criticism of community members, lawmakers and of course, Stephen Colbert, The O'Reilly Factor host is now complaining that his comments were taken out of context by Media Matters. Waaaah.

Here's Hawaii congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa, who says O'Reilly owes Hawaiians and Asian Americans an apology, appearing on The O'Reilly Factor to throw down her beef with Bill.

The Colbert Report mocks Bill O'Reilly's racial stupidity

Some follow up on Bill O'Reilly ridiculous comments from last week, when he discussed Hawaii's social ills and acted like he knew a damn thing about Asian people... The remarks have since drawn criticism from Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa, who says O'Reilly owes Hawaii and Asian Americans an apology: Hanabusa: Bill O'Reilly owes Hawaii and Asian-Americans apology.

Meanwhile, Comedy Central's The Colbert Report took the opportunity to mock Bill O'Reilly comments with its own hilarious takedown of stereotypes and racial generalizations, in a manner that only Stephen Colbert could get away with: Stephen Colbert Mocks Bill O'Reilly's Confusion Over 'Liberal' Asians In Hawaii.

Bill O'Reilly knows what's up with "Asian people"

There's really no use in pointing out that Bill O'Reilly is a lying sack of hot air. He gets paid to be one. It's usually best to ignore him. But when he starts throwing down his completely unfounded generalizations about "Asian people," that gets a resounding OH HELL NO.

On yesterday's edition of Fox News' O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly took it upon himself to break it down for America. Just what is up with Asian people, Bill? "Asian people are not liberal, you know, by nature. They're usually more industrious and hard-working." Let's go to the video, courtesy of Media Matters:

bill o'reilly offers his expert opinion on "gangnam style"

Oh, didn't you know? Bill O'Reilly happens to be an expert on popular musics. Why else would the blowhard host of Fox News' O'Reilly Factor go out of his way to decry the success of "Gangnam Style," not only dismissing Psy as "a little fat guy from Yongyang or some place," but also bringing in a so-called psychiatrist to decode and explain the Korean hit's inexplicable success.
