Fox News correspondent Jesse Watters has been widely criticized after airing a segment filmed in New York City’s Chinatown containing offensive Asian stereotypes._ by [Kevin Lui](https://time.com/author/kevin-lui/) ## Kevin Lui Oct 7, 2016 9:31 AM UTC by [Kevin Lui](https://time.com/author/kevin-lui/) ## Kevin Lui Oct 7, 2016 9:31 AM UTC A recent segment on Fox News, which featured [correspondent Jesse Watters](http://time.com/4520346/jesse-watters-chinatown-video/) supposedly finding out what residents in New York City’s Chinatown think about the upcoming election, has caused considerable backlash online from the Asian-American community. In response, _The Daily Show_ correspondent Ronny Chieng decided to do go to Chinatown to find out how people there really felt about the election. “They say ‘[China](http://time.com/4509121/china-presidential-debate-hillary-clinton-donald-trump/)‘ in the debate, so you go to Chinatown? In New York?” a visibly astonished Chieng asked in response to Bill O’Reilly’s introduction to the Watters video. _The Daily Show_ segment then aired footage of Chieng talking with people in Chinatown in all earnestness — and in Chinese — for their views on the showdown between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The featured interviewees all gave thoughtful and nuanced responses in Mandarin or Cantonese, for which _The Daily Show_ supplied subtitles. When he asked a woman how she knew “so much about U.S. politics,” she shrugged her arms and gave a matter-of-fact response. “I’m from Queens,” she said.
