RADIO WAVE OF ANGER OVER ASIAN SLAP


January 22, 2005 -- A popular hip-hop radio show is in hot water over a parody that mocked victims of the South Asian tsunami catastrophe, calling them "screaming *****s" and "little Chinamen."
Yonkers-based Asian Media Watch accuses the WQHT/Hot 97 "Miss Jones in the Morning" show of "repeated racist attitudes" and demands the program's "elimination."

"The host broadcasts a horrifying song that mocks the dead South Asian tsunami victims, uses the racial slurs '*****' and 'Chinamen,' and calls the drowning victims '*****es,' " said AMW director Kai Yu in a letter to Hot 97's John Dimick.

Station-owner Emmis Communications issued an apology late yesterday.

"We apologize to our listeners and to anyone who was offended," Dimick said. "[The show's entire seven-person staff] has agreed to contribute one-week's pay to the tsunami-relief efforts." John Mainelli

[Larrabee]

That Hot97 shit is just wrong...I don't even listen to the radio, but still...that's not right at all.

[Sikotic™]

LMAO @ them getting pissed because the asian chick wasn't in on it. If she did some shit on slaves and cracking jokes about it then there would be a riot. Callin' her superior and shit because she isn't on it. That's fuckin ridiculous.

Fuck Hot 97. The song is disgusting.
