ECAASU ACTION ALERT: April 27, 2005
**************************************
PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY
"The Jersey Guys" Make Outrageous and Racist Comments on New Jersey 101.5
FM Against Korean American Running for Edison Mayor!!
Is this another case of Miss Jones??
Craig Carton and Rich Rossi, known as "The Jersey Guys" made insensitive
remarks towards the Asian Pacific Islander American community during the
April 25, 2005 broadcast of their show. What started as comments against
Jun Choi [[ http://www.junchoi.com/ ]http://www.junchoi.com/], a Korean
American who is running for Edison, NJ mayor, turned into an outright
attack against our community.
Read some excerpts of the show
**************************************
Craig Carton: I'm using Jun Choi [said in fast-paced, high-pitched,
squeaky voice] as an example of a larger problem.
Ray Rossi: and you know…
Carton: We're forgetting the fact that we're Americans.
Rossi: You know that he's going to get the… whatever that vote is
Carton: And here's the bottom line... no specific minority group or
foreign group should ever ever dictate the outcome of an American el
ection. I don't care if the Chinese population in Edison has quadrupled in
the last year, Chinese should never dictate the outcome of an election,
Americans should.
**************************************
Carton: We're bending over backwards to cater to fringe groups of people
and I don't like it!
Rossi: As long as we understand where yo u're coming from… with the, uh
poker table group...
Carton: Well go to AC for one week and try and get a table… 'ching chong,
ching chong, ching chong [Mimics Chinese accent..] hehe you hit it on 17
you stupid bitch… the dealer's got a 5..im holding an 18…what're you
hitting for… you know? They do it all day and night…they got their little
beady pocketbooks with the little beads on it… they take out wads of 100s…
ching chong ching chong [accent] they don't know how to play the game… eh,
honey i got a 13 and I'm playing against a 6…
**************************************
Caller: You just said it all, the last couple of … callers, I guess they
don't know that they live in America and we're being overrun. I had just
moved out of Edison because of what has happened in the past 10 years…
Orientals are al l along, the whole complete route 27. And Indians have
taken over Edison in north and all over.
Carton: Damn Orientals and Indians.
Caller: I..i moved out..36 years I've lived in Edison
Carton: And what was the biggest problem you had with the Orientals and
the Indians?
Caller: I can't handle them! There's no American people anymore.
Carton: Eh..
Caller: There shoving us the hell out!
Carton: It's like you're a foreigner in your own country isn't it?
