    Me, as a Chinese, is disgusted! Not by the radio show, but by those "Chinese American". It is a prank call show and it is a joke! Those Chinses just pick up anything and say they are being discriminated...(just like the Chinese food , it is a fact that those food are unhealthy. However, those Chinese claim others want to get rid of Chinese takeout store because they are expanding too fast)

    Btw i wonder if they ever watch Mind of mencia or the dave chappell show

    Oh please.
    You see what happens? This is all because of the Imus thing. Now every asshole organization in the country is going to start demanding people get fired because they are 'offended' or it's 'racist'. What a crock of sh**.

    Eventually we are not going to be able to say anything, do anything, go anywhere...

    I think this sums it up best:

    "If we start throwing up walls against
    what some of us think is obscene...we may wake up one morning and realize...that walls have been thrown up
    in places we never expected...and we can't see anything
    or do anything. And that's not freedom. That is not freedom. So, be careful. Thank you."


    "The People vs. Larry Flynt."

    You know what chaps my ass as an Italian, are people that say stupid things like, MATZ-a-RELLA.. It's MOOOOTS-A-Rella.

    Or how about "EYE-talian"... It's IT-talian...

    Or what about "RI-Cahta".. It's RI-GOAT-AH

    Is that racist? It offends me... But I like to think of it as ignorant... Not racist. Ignorance can often times be fixed, and in many cases is either unintentional, or just completely irreversible.

    Best thing you can do is raise kids to be proud of their heritage, as well as respectful of other peoples backgrounds. Ignorance is taught...

    I think that they're just having fun. And you're too sensitive.

    Is there such thing as being racist to your own race? That's what I question from time to time... right or wrong? Either way I think it's wrong..

    I can never understand why people even listen to trash like this, but then there is howard stern guy making millions from people listening to his trash.

    Seems like the only "comedy" now days means "sex". I am assuming that a good comedian could be funny without talking about sex.

    I'm Irish.

    If someone calls me a Mick, it means I'm Irish. How can I take that as an insult? I mean, it's true!

    The same goes for Bog-trotter, Harp, Leprechaun, Paddy, Pogue, Potato Head, Shant, Shilaeli Hugger, or Spudnigger.

    On the other hand, if someone called me a Cat-lick, a WIC, or a Narrowback -- it wouldn't be true. How could I be offended by something which isn't true?

    Nothing has changed since kindergarten: Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
