TO: HOT 97 Radio Station in NYC
On January 21st, 2005, an offensive song/skit containing openly derogatory and racist overtones reached millions of listeners in NYC when it was broadcasted on HOT 97's "Miss Jones in the Morning" radio show. While the radio show has a history of recording and playing such spoofs on a regular basis, the infamous "Tsunami Song" mocks not only the victims of the unfortunate recent natural disaster in Southeast Asia, but also all members of the Asian race in general with the racial slurs "chink" and "Chinamen." |
