By Nicole Chavez, CNN(CNN) — A news anchor in Missouri was deeply hurt when a viewer criticized her for being “very Asian” but within hours, Asian Americans across the country stood up for her. “Hi, this evening your Asian anchor mentioned something about being Asian, and Asian people eat dumplings on New Year’s Day. And I kind of take offense to that because what if one of your white anchors said, ‘Well White people eat this on New Year’s Day’.
