Despite garnering flack for their “timid” coverage of former President Donald Trump, it seems there’s one tough question The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board isn’t afraid to ask — “Are There Too Many Asians?”

Earlier this week, the business outlet’s overlords decided it would be a splendid idea to title an OpEd penned by ex-POTUS George W. Bush’s speechwriter, William McGurn, with the *very* bold inquiry, days after a Lunar New Year mass shooting shook the Asian community in Monterey Park, California.

Though McGurn’s column criticized the West’s population-related fear-mongering, it seems the offending title, which has since been edited on their website, remaining only on their online print-edition archive, left the sour taste of (hopefully inadvertent) genocide in readers’ mouths.

Alongside dunking on the *very* unfortunate advertisement paired with the already *very* unfortunately titled piece, others slamming the WSJ and McGurn, condemning their decision to run a piece with a title that sounds like it stemmed from an ultra-racist Saturday Night Live skit about Gwen Stefani composing an offensive follow-up to Adult Swim’s “Too Many Cooks.”

“‘Are There Too Many Asians?’ there are a lot fewer after this weekend bill, you unholy ****,” Twitter user @ruemcclammyhand commented alongside McGurn’s post promoting his piece.

“William McGurn's going to William McBurn (in hell, hopefully as soon as possible),” added @shingenderrobo.

WSJ staffers, if you’re reading this, remember:  Brevity and lack of genocide are the keys to successful headlines!
