|  | HOT 97: Tsunami Song

About a month ago, Miss Jones on Hot 97 played a completely rascist song for a week, concerning the tsunami that killed well over 200,00 people in South Asia. The lyrics are:
..All at once you could hear the screaming c****s
and no one was safe from the wave there were africans drowning, little chinamen swept away you could hear god laughing, "swim you bitches swim"
So now you're screwed, it's the Tsunami
you better run or kiss your ass away, go find your mommy I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head and now the children will be sold to child slavery...
The writer of this song, Rick Delgado and Todd Lynn has been fired from Hot 97. Miss Jones and those associated with the song were suspended for two weeks and had to donate their paychecks to the tsunami relief fund. Miss Info, the Korean American that had an argument with Miss Jones about the rascism of the tsunami song has not been on air.
What do you feel Asians should do regarding this tsunami song? Is it wrong to blame Miss Jones for airing a rascist song? What are some of your reactions to these events?
