COMMUNITY PROTEST TO DEMAND THE FIRING OF JV & ELVIS!Posted in Community Alerts, Protest at 12:10 pm by admin
PROTEST ALERT: THE APA COMMUNITY DEMANDS THE FIRING OF JV & ELVIS!
DATE: Friday, April 27, 2007
TIME: 12:00 noon
LOCATION: CBS Headquarters
51 West 52nd Street
The Black Rock Building off 6th Avenue
A community protest is currently being organized by Asian American leaders to publicly condemn the racist, anti-Asian antics of CBS Radio personalities Jeff Vandergrift (a.k.a. “JV”) and Dan Lay (a.k.a. “Elvis”) and to demand their immediate firing. Watch this space for upcoming details.
In the mean time, click here and read our open letter to CBS Radio for more information regarding Vandergrift and Lay’s history of racist and degrading remarks towards Asians.
Most recently, the tasteless duo made a six-minute prank phone call to a Chinese restaurant (which originally aired on April 5, 2007 and re-aired on April 19, 2007 — a week after Don Imus was fired for his “nappy-headed hos” comment), where they verbally abused restaurant workers with racist, vulgar and sexist comments that range from mock Asian accents (”flied lice”) to sexual harassment (telling a female employee they want to see her “hot Asian spicy ass”).
