JV & Elvis Racist Audio Clip #2 - Degrading Asians Is Comedy Gold!
Everybody Loves a Racist: JV (l.) and Elvis
The following racist radio segment was downloaded from JV (a.k.a. Jeff Vandergrift) & Elvis’ (a.k.a. Dan Lay) official website on Monday, April 22, 2007.
As of April 26, 2007, the segment has mysteriously disappeared from the page where it was originally located (http://podcast.923freefm.com/wfny/29084.mp3).
An admission of guilt? You be the judge.
Please also note that this short clip (taken from their three-hour program) was posted as a podcast on their website. In other words, these two jackasses were so proud of this segment that they were using it to represent and promote their lame show.
During an August 28, 2006 interview with New York City Councilman John Liu to debate racial segregation on that season’s Survivor, the hosts repeatedly insulted the Councilman’s ethnicity with mock Asian accents (telling him to quiet down by shouting “Sirence!” and “Risten!” and then taking calls from “Frushing Meadows” and “Rong Isrand”) and overtly racist remarks (referring to Asian men as having “rice pickles” and saying how Councilman Liu can “barely see”). From listening closely to the segment, it’s also apparent that Mr. Vandergrift and Mr. Lay cowardly turned down the audio on Councilman Liu’s reception so he couldn’t hear what they were uttering.

Well, I guess we can add another stereotype to the list: “Asians don’t have a sense of humor.”

i like how you guys are calling JV & Elvis racists when you guys do not care about any other group except yourselves. why aren’t you guys going after SNL and comedians in comedy halls? i guess Chris Rock is a racist because he uses comedy to BREAK DOWN tension barriers that groups like you want to keep at the forefront. every single race gets joked about, that is our culture now and there is nothing wrong with it BECAUSE IT IS NOT HATE SPEECH. hate speech is one thing, but this is obviously a joke to entertain people. sorry you want to make this into Imus part 2, but you know you have no case. enjoy your 15minutes of fame on FoxNews while you got it

OMG, you filthy racist guys disgust me and truly make me embarassed to be white too!! We are all human and I have a tremendous respect for Asians. I hang out with quite a few and they have never treated me with anything but the utmost respect and care. So, this type of hate speech is truly uncalled for and unwarranted. Please find some other way to compensate for your small self-esteem than hating on the radio or internet at easy minority targets!
It’s really just not funny. It wasn’t in 3rd grade and it certainly isn’t now.
Natasha - I can hook you up with some REAL men - not idiots stuck at a 2nd grade maturity level. Lose this loser!

hey Jessi Collins if its not for you, then you don’t have to listen. Simple as that. And as for our self esteem, it really shows your group’s self esteem issues if they can’t take a joke

Oh we can take a hostile joke however we want - angrily if we want. Because these jokes are meant to offend the targets, not entertain them.
Antilocution is step 1 on Allport’s scale of prejudice (that culminates in genocide):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allport’s_scale
Don’t play dumb here - you know damn well when a “joke” is just a thin smokescreen for far deeper antisinoism and sinophobia. That these are driven by a far deeper hatred, resentment and condescension against Asia, China & Chinese in particular. Follow your hatred down…and you will find it extends far deeper than some “harmless” jokes exercising freedom of prejudice. Quit fooling yourself, cuz you’re not fooling us.
I mean, does the doghouse honestly expect ASIANS to find this joke funny - or just racist White guys? Do they honestly expect us just to chuckle along like “good little geuks?” How the hell did they expect us to act? Or did they even care…because they felt like we’re not even here so who gives a fawk?
Well, we ARE HERE and we DO CARE.
I am not being unreasonable. There’s dozens of Asian jokes made in the media everyday. So sue us if we pick out one out of hundreds that simply crosses the line.

Get real. How fragile your poor soul must be. Way too much time on your hands….

Give me an effin break. Anyone that condones this garbage as legitimate comedy is just as ignorant and classless as the people on that show. There was definitely a line crossed there, and anyone that can’t (or doesn’t want to) see that, needs to reevaluate their effed-up morals. And for those idiots who still don’t get it, let me explain.
I’m oriental (I HATE the pc term Asian), and I’d say I’m pretty damn thick-skinned and laid back about my race, particularly if I know and like you. Why? Because I frequently laugh at jokes about women and other races and ethnicities, and I think hypocrisy is a very ugly quality. I genuinely despise people that can dish it out but can’t take it, and honestly, orientals are probably the biggest subscribers to this double-standard mentality, so I definitely understand the lack of sympathy in this situation, but you cannot justify this material as “just a joke” or a comedy bit.
My girlfriend of many years happens to be white, and she often jokes with me about my slanty, narrow eyes and my people’s stereotypical problem of distinguishing r’s from l’s. I always laugh and joke along because I know it’s all just good natured fun. My girl isn’t racist (at least not against orientals… haha. j/k)- she loves me and obviously isn’t trying to hurt me. And this, for those that are in dire need of this lesson, is how you draw the line between something that’s funny vs offensive. It’s all about context.
I would say 90% of the program was fine, but near the end of the show, when some of the listeners called in SOLELY for the purpose of getting their 3 seconds of fame through derogatory put-downs (talk about people that need to get a life), things definitely started to get out of hand. After the one incredibly witty dude with the “chink, chink, chink, spic, spic, spic” sprinkler comment had his say (btw congrats to this loser who probably waited on hold for 10 minutes just so he could deliver his unbelievably passe one-liner), JV and Elvis should have apologized and ended the show right there. Instead, they busted out laughing, continued to throw in their own racial quips, and continued to take more calls. So yeah, call me “fragile”, but when sh*t turns hostile like it did at the end of the show, I get a little offended. And yeah, “hostile” is definitely the right word here; on the street, it would be the equivalent of a group of white guys surrounding a single oriental and verbally abusing him solely because he’s oriental. And if that kind of image doesn’t say, “racism,” then I can’t help you. This was a councilman who came on the show to talk about, what was to him, a serious issue- not be insulted about his heritage. Give me a break. Liu may be a pc-monger douchebag, but he didn’t deserve that kind of treatment. That was totally disrepectful.

Sitting in that spot right there doesn’t mean you OWN the spot. Besides, racism is for people that can’t just admit we’re all part of the universe… that we’re Universians.
