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