http://www.ImmigrantSolidarity.org National Immigrant Solidarity Network had been deeply outraged by
a recent radio broad cast by New York City HOT 97's "Miss Jones in
the Morning Show" ran a racist song call Tsunami Song that ridicules the victims
of the Tsunami as "ch*nks" whose children will now be sold into
child slavery. Below is a link to the mp3 for you to listen for yourself: This is a racist and sexist song, their actions had been deeply disrespect
at least 225,000 people who died from the tragedy. CONTACT HOT 97 NOW! Demand that Miss Jones and all others involved
in the creation of the Tsunami Song be fired. Let them know that
racial epithets and mockery of a tragedy will not be tolerated. HOT 97 In addition, we are calling the activists and peace loving people
from different ethnic background and across the country, to co-sign a
letter of protest to the HOT 97, and hold a rally at the first week
of February to deliver at their station on New York City (detail
will be announce soon). We drafted a initial letter (at the bottom of the e-mail), please
contact us before February 1 if you would like to co-sign, any suggestions
and modifications are welcome. Lee Siu Hin National Immigrant Solidarity Network ActionLA Coalition Peace No War Network Tel: (626)695-3405 e-mail: siuhin@aol.com 1) Not for the Light Hearted--HOT 97's Miss Jones & Tsunami

Airing of Tsunami song at Miss Jones in the Morning Show We
had been deeply outraged by a recent radio broad cast by New York City
HOT 97's "Miss Jones in the Morning Show" ran a racist
song call Tsunami Song that ridicules the victims
of the Tsunami as "ch*nks" whose children will now be sold into
child slavery. Their
actions had been deeply disrespect the people of Asia, and at least 225,000
people who died from the tragedy. Therefore,
we ask your station: 1)
Remove Miss Jones and all others involved in the creation of the
Tsunami Song from the show. 2)
The station will offer public apology on the radio. 3)
The staffs of the station will require to meet with immigrant community
and victims of the tsunami, a community dialogue for racism and cultural
awareness. We
hope the station will do it the right way this time, or we will reserve
a further action at the future. National Immigrant Solidarity Network No Immigrant Bashing!
