From St. Louis: A personalized license plate with a derogatory term toward Asians has sparked criticism. The plate was issued in Missouri, and its approval has been questioned. A second-generation Asian American, James, has spoken out about the issue, saying the word on the plate brought back painful memories of being called that term while growing up.

James expressed shock and disappointment that the word was allowed on a personalized plate. He wondered how it was approved by the Department of Revenue. The Missouri Department of Revenue has been contacted about the matter. Further details are available from the source.
