Radio Wave of Anger Over Asian Slap
by John Mainelli, New York Post
January 22, 2005 - NEW YORK
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 chinks" 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 'chink' and 'Chinamen,' and calls the drowning victims 'bitches,' 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."
