Dueling accusations are flying in South Jersey over a campaign mailer for the 3rd district U.S. House race.
State Democrats are accusing their Republican counterparts of distributing a "racist" ad targeting Democratic challenger Andy Kim, a Korean American. Kim is running against two-term Republican incumbent Tom MacArthur.
The ad features a photo of several whole fish on ice with the caption "There's something Real Fishy about Andy Kim."
"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.
"The GOP's decision to show images of raw fish and to use this particular red block font, which is actually called 'Chop Suey' and has long been used to visually convey Asian heritage, makes it abundantly clear what this mailer is -- a shameful racist attack on a qualified and capable public servant," said Caitlin Mota, a Democratic party spokeswoman.
The state GOP dismissed the Democrat's criticism.
"This is an ugly attempt to change a bad news cycle for Andy Kim," said Harrison Neeley, a GOP spokesman. "Let's not forget that Tom MacArthur has two Korean children."

Do a google search it looks nothing like a chop suey font.
This is soooo hateful!!! I think I’m going to faint!! -sarc This is worse than Roseann Barr’s “chingy chingy”!’
The font they used is a kooky 60s mod font
We haven’t heard from Andy Kim Since his “Rock Me Gently” days!
So MacArthur is fighting a Korean? Am I the only one seeing the irony?
If fonts are racist, then some ting wong.
I was just going to say, I used to have an extensive library of fonts for making graphics and stuff. That is NOT the chop suey font I remember.
This is worse than Roseann Barr’s “chingy chingy”!’
