Fox News personality Jesse Watters is getting justifiably lambasted for his racist Chinatown man-on-the-street report.

But the harshest takedown may be the one delivered by “The Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng on Thursday night’s broadcast.

“Everyone’s been wondering who’d be the target for the year’s worst racism,” Chieng said. “I didn’t even know Asians were in the running.”

Chieng, a comedian of Chinese descent raised in Malaysia, said he’s especially angry that Watters relied on references to Pat Morita’s “Miyagi” character from the original “Karate Kid” movie for laughs.
