Quoted:
Well this is the first time I have ever herd of a "Chop Suey" font. https://www.good.is/articles/how-chop-suey-fonts-sell-a-fictional-china 
The people of Michigan played witness to a local firestorm after Republican former U.S. representative Pete Hoekstra unveiled a new campaign ad aimed at unseating current Michigan senator Debbie Stabenow. Accusing Stabenow of supporting legislation that sent American jobs to China, Hoekstra's ad featured a young Chinese woman riding her bike through rice paddy fields, speaking broken English to the camera: "Your economy get very weak. Ours get very good."
The site design also featured several typefaces that mimic East Asian calligraphy. Known in graphic design as "chop suey fonts," this style of typeface is an American invention that has long been used to sell China to western audiences. With its roots in turn-of-the-century San Francisco Chinatown, chop suey fonts prevailed as an intentional misrepresentation of China used for dramatic effect by graphic designers, Chinese immigrants, and now, politicians. Hoesktra’s camp emphatically defended the ad campaign at first, leaving the website up for days after it began to attract criticism. But things took a turn for the worse when a Reddit user discovered the tag “yellowgirl” in the site’s source code, evidently referring to an embedded image of the Asian actress who appears in the commercial. Hoekstra’s use of chop suey fonts and other racially charged imagery shines a light on the stereotypes that still exist within every part of society, including the political and graphic design worlds. “Ethnic” typefaces, though often only found on sketchy websites offering free font downloads, survive today simply because they are good at what they do: distill an entire culture into a typographical aesthetic that becomes a signifier to the uninitiated. |

On the other side of the coin I would think one would have to have a racist mind set to apply racist conatations to a font. Quote HistoryQuoted:

This is retarded on so many levels I can't even. So rather than confronting the opponent with his legal/ethical issues, you know, shit that actually matters, they decide to get edgy and slander it with chinese menu fonts and pictures of fishheads. Let that sink in. This would be no different than someone attacking a black candidate with posters of him/her eating fried chicken and watermelons.
I get that GD has a handicapped bias sometimes, but shit like this doesn't advance the conservative narrative of, "the democrats are the real racists!" Surprise, racism exists on both sides, just some more overt than others. |

I could careless what the democrats say is racist.
Only thing I care about is when the right figures out the ballot box is worthless and we go to the cartridge box and rid ourselves out the cancer that is the left. That is the only way in the long term to save out great nation and right this ship. |

"Real Fishy" and "Andy Kim" are spelled out in a type font a Democratic spokeswoman said is called "Chop Suey," and is often associated with Chinese food stores or Asian films. 
It looks NOTHING like the font that was used in the flyer. |
