NJ 101.5 FM stated that Asian Pacific Americans are "Damn
Orientals and Indians," spoke in "ching chong ching chong"
mock Asian gibberish, and made other defamatory statements
towards the Asian Pacific American community and New Jersey
mayoral candidate Jun Choi. Please join our campaign to hold
NJ 101.5 FM radio and its parent company Millennium Radio
Group fully accountable for their on-air racist propaganda and for
their past history of bigotry and hate speech in which they stated
that people with mental illness "they must be crazy in the first
place," and that they would burn down the homes of recovery
patients, preferable with them in it, and shoot recovering patients
in the head.

the Coalition Against Hate Media (CAHM) formed in directed
response to the Hot 97 "Tsunami Song." As a result of our
efforts, and the efforts of many other elected officials, community
leaders, and activists, we have achieved results in the Emmis
Communications/Hot 97 incident:
> - Termination of producer Rick Del Gado and host Todd Lynn
> - Donation of $1 million to tsunami relief
> - Suspensions of employees
> - Public statements of apology
> - Lost advertisers and revenue
> However, these important accomplishments are not enough.
CAHM is working towards long-term solutions that include
education; positive changes in business practices; additional
terminations and more to ensure that media companies are
held fully accountable for producing hate-based programming

companies such as Hot 97 and NJ 101.5 fully accountable for
promoting bigotry and hatred.
