1. they've already issued an apology on the air;

2. i think blacklisting is a detestable and dangerous practice; and

3. instead of asking that everyone involved be fired, how about advocating that they use part of their airtime and/or their talents to raise money for aid/relief?

there's no use in countering ugliness with more ugliness.

I've singed the petition and am writting the director and Sprint PCS (my cellphone provider).

I can't beleive that shit. I mean, would african americans like it if an Asian based radio station said "all the n@gger's starving in the Sudan?"
That shit is rank.

Yes.

And who the fuck thinks human suffering is funny?

What if I went out and did an entire joke thread about the little white kids starving in Kosovo, or black kids dying of disease in Equatorial Guinnea.
This is as distasteful as those AIDs jokes circulating on radio stations in the 80's.

I wholeheartedly agree. nod What's scary is that there are people out there who share their sentiment. I don't want to blow this out of proportion, but it would be naive to think that they are the only ones who feel this way about Asians. Whatever.
Ignorance will always exist. There's not much anyone can do about that. sad
