A conservative YouTube host is under fire after describing a Bay Area TV reporter as having an 'aggressively Asian face'.
Steven Crowder, who heads the political podcast and YouTube channel Louder With Crowder, made the racist comments during a segment on his show Wednesday when talking about how San Francisco's only In-N-Out location closed after failing to check customers' vaccination cards.
'Let me just let them tell you the story,' Crowder said before showing a clip of the KPIX news segment featuring reporter Betty Yu.
Crowder immediately remarked: 'Oh, that is an aggressively Asian face.'

Co-host Dave Landau can be heard in the background saying 'easy' and then joking: 'Where's Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz?'

'Yeah, yeah, no. It's culture,' another co-host Gerald Morgan said in the background.
