For the last week New York's Hot 97 has been running a hideously unfunny and offensive skit named the "Tsunami Song," that ridicules the victims of the Tsunami as "chinks" whose children will now be sold into child slavery. It's being played on the station's morning show, hosted by Miss Jones.
Here are some choice lyrics:
"..All at once you could hear the screaming chinks
and no one was safe from the wave
there were africans drowning, little chinamen swept away
you could hear god laughing, "swim you bitches swim"
So now you're screwed, it's the Tsunami
you better run or kiss your ass away, go find your mommy
I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head
and now the children will be sold to child slavery..."
We the undersigned are disgusted by this blatant display of racism and insensitivity to a world tragedy. We asked that the world community join in expressing our displeasure to HOT 97 and its parent company, Emmis Communications. We find that their responses to our numerous emails have been lackluster and unimpressive compared to the amount of ignorance they so proudly displayed and purported as comedy.
We would also like to make the companies that choose to give their advertising dollars to Emmis Communications and its affiliates aware of the type of company they are supporting and how their advertising dollars are being spent, and more importantly how their target audience perceives this ordeal.
