JV And Elvis gets fired for racist remark

[kwak76]

Dog house as they were called on so-called free FM 92.3 was fired from their racist Asian jokes.

Sometimes during lunch I would listen to 92.3 free FM and didn't realize most of the DJ and host are bunch of rednecks in free FM 92.3.

For those of you that live in NYC and every get the chance to listen to 92.3 would you agree with me?

I don't know if this is known yet but his wife is actually a Korean American who goes by the name Natashi Yi. I just found this out like 1 minute ago. I punched my bedroom wall when I found that out.

Why do we even bother with this shit anymore.

Asian women? Come on. Seriously.

[nekohead]

I am NOT saying this to be mean, but you all should have known that he either would date a Asian women or even would have a Asian wife.

[Vahz]

It's been known since the beginning and they tried to use her as an excuse to prove he's not racist.

There was also a sheriff that said he would never hire gooks to be on the police force and then he said that his wife is Japanese so he's not racist.

Fallout Central wrote Natasha Yi a funny letter here:

and got a funny response here:

Jenn from Reappropriate.com has an even better response.

Jenn's response is top shelf.

The comments on the Fallout Central piece are infuriating. It's downright embarassing. I don't think any other minority group has as high a percentage of apologists as we do.

the only thing i could think of is either ms. yi is a very big sell out or she just married for money.

[Lum]

Such an obedient wife, that Natasha Yi...

[Vahz]

I would think she would make more money than him honestly.

In any case, I'm more angry at her than him because I can anticipate being attacked by my enemies but never betrayal.

vahz,
that's the way it goes.

people like JV and Elvis are saying lighten up don't take it to serious it's all meant to be a joke and it's part of free speach.

which I say is bullshit because it's pretty much white guys making fun of asians. If we had a equal balance of asians on the media making fun of white people and the power structure was more even than maybe I could take a joke but no sorry this is not joke but something that is mean to hurt us.

white guys who marry asian women are sometimes the worst racist you will find. It may seem ironic because you would think white guys would be open minded but sometimes they are only openminded in that asian sexual fetish way...

asian girls that marry white guys like these tend to be self-hating asians.
which is sad because we have too many of them in our community.

the sad part is the public will see this and think a white guy who is dick head could land an attractive asian women..

shows the world that asian have no self-respect

[Vahz]

Interesting enough, there was someone defending these guys at work to which I responded that the reason why Asians "can't take a joke" and are so outraged is because there is no balance in positive media portrayals. If there was a balance, I can honestly say that there wouldn't be such a huge fuss. However, since it's so lopsided, people are bound to get angry.

I said that even if there was a 2:1 ratio, Asians wouldn't care. The problem is that the ratio is like 1000:1 and when you have such an unequal balance, you're going to have problems.

When does revolution in countries take place? When the gap between rich and poor is so large. The larger the gap gets, the more discontent and unrest you have. This shouldn't be a surprise to people.

He thought about it and said that was a fair assessment.

I just hope other radio dj's take note and think about the possible repercussions before making fun of Asians.

But for now, let's be happy that we won this battle.

Having known that his wife is Asian AFTER he has been fired makes it so much more satisfying for me personally. I think it sends a clear message that it doesn't matter if you're wife is Asian it doesn't give you the right to say these kinds of things.

By the way, is't the president of CBS married to a Chinese woman or something?

[Vahz]

Yes.

The producer of that show Law and Order referred to Asian people as "chinamen." He's also married to an Asian woman.

[kwak76]

people think white guys/asian women couple is breaking down racism or it's good for the community.

hogwash...I met aw/white guy couple. Some of them are the most ignorant sonofthebitch around.
