We need to make Hot 97 to regret this.

For
the last week New York's Hot 97 has been running a hideously unfunny
and offensive skit named the "Tsunami Song," that ridicules the victims
of the Tsunami as "chinks" whose children will now be sold into child
slavery. It's being played on the station's morning show, hosted by
Miss Jones.
It's also featured on their website, on the right side of the page:

And this is a direct link to the mp3: http://www.hot97.com/av/audio/morningShow/USA_For_Indonesia.mp3
Here are some choice lyrics:
"..All
at once you could hear the screaming chinks 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..."
Uhh, yeah. Har de har har.
You
may know that one of that show's other hosts, Miss Info, is Asian. She
voiced her displeasure with the skit and got into a heated on-air
argument with Miss Jones about it. But so far Hot 97 hasn't
acknowledged that there's anything wrong with it, and they continue to
air it everyday.
As a New Yorker, as a radio person, and as a
hip-hop fan I am ashamed and disgusted that Hot 97 is allowing this to
broadcast on their airwaves. If you feel the same way you can let them
know here:
