Imus, Not Even Half the Story

By The News Apr 24, 2007

As Angry Asian Man reported, the culture of Don Imus is alive on radio and for the most part, going unchecked by mainstream activists:

For instance, Power 105.1’s "Are You Smarter Than An Asian?" segment from the other week… and now, the latest bit of racist radio to come to our attention, courtesy of WFNY 92.3 Free FM in New York. On April 5th, "The Dog House with JV and Elvis" midmorning show made a six-minute prank call to a Chinese restaurant, in which a series of unsuspecting employees have to deal with this caller’s racist, sexist remarks, while the hosts laugh their asses off in the background: In the skit, a series of apparently unsuspecting employees of a Chinese restaurant are berated by a caller who tells one woman he would like to "come to your restaurant" to see her naked, especially a part of her body he refers to as "hot, Asian, spicy." The caller also attempts to order "flied lice," brags of his prowess in kung fu and repeatedly curses at several employees.

Where was Jesse? Or does racism only include infractions against blacks? Don’t think so.
