Look at all this bullshit Asians put up with this year...

...conveniently summed up in this mannequin challenge video.



It's been a hell of a year with a lot of frustrating and heartbreaking moments. This clever Asian American take on the Mannequin Challenge, entitled "A-Woke," attempts to sum it up with some perspective. Produced by Michael Tow and Teja Arboleda, it plays kind of like a "greatest hits" of some of the high profile issues and pop culture flare-ups that have recently gripped the Asian American community.

It's by no means comprehensive -- it's almost entirely East Asian-focused -- but it manages to jam in references to the Academy Awards, Doctor Strange, "Watters World," Ghost in the Shell and more in less than a minute and a half. It's like a weird wax museum of some of your favorite racist bullshit from 2016.

Daniel Dae Kim offers Jesse Watters a plane ticket to see 'Hold These Truths'

"Maybe you will learn something about the role Asian Americans have played in the shaping of our country."



So you got mad about that racist Fox News segment by walking talking assbag Jesse Watters, in which he went to Chinatown with no other point but to make fun of Asians. Some responded to the piece with wickedly clever clapback videos, while some took the opportunity to simply call Watters a "racist piece of shit" in person. Actor Daniel Dae Kim is offering Watters a round trip plane ticket to Minnesota.

The Hawaii Five-0 star is offering Watters a plane ticket to see his friend Joel de la Fuente in the play Hold These Truths, now playing at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, to "learn something about the role Asian Americans have played in the shaping of our country." This is a serious offer -- "not a trick or joke" -- made in the spirit of understanding. He'll pay for Watters' round trip airfare.

Kim made the offer to Watters' via Twitter:

Jenny Yang has some "gentle fun" with white people

"How was Burning Man?"



In ongoing saga of Jesse Watters' unwelcome visit to Chinatown, the now-infamous, craptastically racist Fox News segment has inspired some epic clap backs. In addition to Ronny Chieng's ferocious segment on The Daily Show, we've now got this awesome woman-on-the-street piece featuring our homegirl Jenny Yang.

Since Bill O'Reilly sent Watters to Chinatown to have some "gentle fun" (also known as racist fuckery) with Chinese Americans, Fusion Comedy sent Jenny to Beverly Hills to have some "gentle fun" with white people.

Check it out:

Guy calls Jesse Watters a "racist piece of shit." To his face.

Thomas ran into the Fox News correspondent on the street. So he told him what was up.



So you've seen that shitty Fox News video of Jesse Watters' racist antics in Chinatown. And you got angry, and said some angry words on the internet. But what would you do if came face to face with Jesse Watters?

That's what happened to Thomas Lai, who saw the video, got angry like the rest of us... then happened to run into Watters on the street on Thursday. Thomas seized the opportunity to cuss him out, calling Watters "a racist piece of shit" and informing him that the "Asian American community fucking hates you."

Best of all, Thomas got the encounter on video and posted it in on Facebook.

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?
