To Whom It May Concern,

[your personal statement inserted here]

During the April 25th (Monday) edition of “The Jersey Guys”, hosts ‘Carton and Rossi’ displayed the most heinous and irresponsible radio talk show “entertainment” that New Jersey has ever heard.

Carton and Rossi repeatedly displayed Edison Mayoral Candidate Jun Choi as an enemy of New Jersey residents and Asian residents of New Jersey were repeatedly referred to as if they could not possibly be American citizens. They also repeatedly mocked Jun Choi’s name and incited racial animosity by insinuating that all Asians will vote for the Korean American candidate.

Among Carton and Rossi’s ON AIR hateful quotes were:

- “Damn Orientals and Indians.”

- “There should be like Asian-only rooms in casinos”

- “Well you know, ching chong, ching chong, you bombed us”

Here's a lovely quote from that article

"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 said.

Ah, there it is again. Another example of Asians as perpetual foreigners. Chinese people who are American citizens are not considered American, but rather Chinese. Third generation Chinese Americans are still considered Chinese and not really American. When American skater Tara Lipinski beat fellow American Michelle Kwan, the headlines read "American beats Kwan." Yes keep excluding us you bastards. It's the same shit over and over and I'm so sick of this. Third generation Dutch or German Americans would be considered "real" apple pie eating baseball playing Americans because, well, they are white.
