CHINATOWN, Manhattan (WABC) -- A town hall meeting was held in Manhattan on Sunday about a TV segment that many find racially insensitive.



Political Humorist Jesse Watters from Fox News recently interviewed people in Chinatown, and he include karate and a foot massage in his segment.




Sunday's event at the Museum of Chinese in America in Chinatown aimed to create a dialogue between the Asian-American Community and Fox News. Fox News declined to attend.



Organizers, including the Asian American Journalist's Association hope the event builds cultural awareness.
