From St. Louis: A personalized license plate with a derogatory term toward Asians has sparked criticism. The plate was issued in Missouri and features a racial slur. A second-generation Asian American, James, expressed shock and disappointment upon seeing the plate, saying it brought back painful memories of being called the slur while growing up.

James noted that the use of the slur increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, with some people blaming Asian-Americans for the outbreak. He is surprised that the Missouri Department of Revenue allowed the plate to be issued.

Further details on the incident and the department's response are available from the source. The issuance of the plate has drawn criticism, with James questioning how the slur was allowed to be used on a license plate.
