FYI: Outrageous Stuff....
Despite many genuine efforts to educate others about the freedom of speech and responsibility, we must continue our commitment and dedication to fight discrimination and hate speech. Unfortunately, ignorance and insensitivity continues to resurface in society. Below is an example that I received via email.

From the Asian Communities United Organization on 6/1/06
Dear Friends and Supporters:
Recently, members of our group (Asian Communities United) in the Toledo area reported a couple of appalling incidents on the radio. A DJ identified as "Lucus" on Tower 98.3 FM (a Cumulus Toledo station) has been making prank calls to Asian restaurants in the area with the intention of ridiculing the recipients of the phone calls live on the air. The assumption is that the call recipients speak little or no English and can be easily ridiculed without consequence.
In one incident, on May 22, 2006 around 8:40 pm, the DJ called a restaurant whose workers spoke perfect English. Upon hearing this the two DJs reacted by saying "Who are you? What are you doing there? What's with these white people working at Chinese restaurants? We're not calling Bob Evans!"
In another incident, two months before (date and time unknown), a DJ at the same station, called a Japanese restaurant repeatedly, despite clear indications that the calls were unwelcome. The DJ had a huge laugh at the call recipient's expense, making outrageous remarks such as: "Me love you long time," "Ching Chong Chung," and "Me Speakee no English," among other things.
Please help us get the offending DJ off the air. You can help in two ways. First, write to the station manager and let him know how unacceptable his DJ's behavior is. Next, go online to the URL below and sign our petition: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ACU123/petition.html.
