Re: Airing of Tsunami Song on Miss Jones in the Morning Show
We have been deeply outraged by a recent radio broadcast by New
York City HOT 97's "Miss Jones in the Morning Show" when
it ran a racist song called Tsunami Song that ridicules the
victims of the Tsunami as "ch*nks" whose children will
now be sold into child slavery.
Their actions deeply disrespect the people of Asia, and the at least
225,000 people who died from the tragedy.
Therefore, we make the following requests of your station:
1) Removal of Miss Jones and all others involved in the creation
of the Tsunami Song from the show.
2) The station to offer public apology on the radio, and promises
that such a blatantly racist and insensitive act will never happen
again.
3) The staff of the station will be required to meet with immigrant
community and victims of the tsunami in order to establish a community
dialogue for racism and cultural awareness.
We hope the station will do it the right way this time, or we will
resort to further action in the future.
