Hot 97's Racist and Insensitive Tsunami Song

Updated March 2nd, 2005

Background

By now, you probably have heard bits and pieces of what has been going around on emails on people's blogs. HipHopMusic.com has been very good keeping up with the latest updates on this incident, and I have tried to compile all the information I could find below. I personally cannot comprehend how much more inappropriate Hot 97, the hosts of the Miss Jones in the Morning could have been. The entire crew's tastelessness not only extends far beyond the song, but even takes on a personal and racial angle (listen to her comments in the clip directed at Miss Info, who is Asian American).

On the clip below you will hear the hosts of the show, Todd Lynn and Miss Jones get absolutely abusive with Miss Info, the lone person who chooses to distance herself from the questionable song. Miss Info, (who also has a spot on VH1's "Best Week Ever") objects to the song only to be told by Miss Jones that the issue isn't the song, but the fact that Miss Info feels superior "because she's Asian". Miss Info deserves a whole bag of props for standing up against the entire Morning Show and their ridiculously unfunny song, even if it meant to deal with the tirades from Miss Jones. And its not only Miss Jones, but cohost Todd Lynn lets her know that he's "gonna start shooting Asians." Top it all off, the song even uses racial slurs to get its point across with lines like "you can hear the screaming chinks" running from waves. Can you imagine what would happen if there was a 9/11 Song about people jumping off the WTC? Or maybe a Holocaust Song and something equally funny about gas chambers?

Hot 97's apology was about as sincere as Shaq's apology for making racist comments about Yao Ming—something of the "Um, if you were offended, then um, tough luck" sort. Those who have been writing in demanding apologies and the firing of Miss Jones, have been getting generic responses or apologies. What I suggest is that we move to have measures taken that were similar Abercombie& Fitch settlement. Emmis Broadcasting should have Hot 97 employ racial senstitivity training or better yet, have Hot 97 create a show profiling Asians and their role in hip hop. Obviously, they realize that Asians are a demographic that can't be ignored—why not bring it to the forefront?

Anti-Racism: "Tsunami Song" on Hot 97

Message from the Asian Promoters of New York City:


Hip hop has become ingrained in our lives so much to the point that it has become synonymous with today's pop culture. Nowhere has this been more evident than in nightlife. From Indian to Japanese, from lounges to clubs, hip hop has grown in popularity as the music of choice by the masses and has been embraced by Asians. Gone are the days of New Wave and Trance. Now, hip hop reigns supreme.

The widespread acceptance of hip hop by Asians has only helped to create a much larger disappointment felt by the lack of respect that Hot 97 has shown to the Asian community by this song and comments made by Miss Jones and the entire Miss Jones in the Morning crew. The promoters of the New York City Asian nightlife, who have long supported and promoted hip hop, have joined in solidarity in support of protest against this song and media of this nature.

Hot 97's Tsunami Song

Hot 97's Tsunami Song

Some Choice Lyrics:

There was a time, when the sun was shining bright
So I went down to the beach to catch me a tan
Then the next thing I knew, a wave 20 feet high
Came and washed your whole country away

And all at once, you can hear the screaming chinks
And no one was saved from the wave
There were Africans drowning, little Chinamen swept away
You can hear God laughing, 'Swim you bitches swim.'

[Chorus]
So now you're screwed, it's the tsunami,
You better run and kiss your ass away, go find your mommy
I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head
And now your children will be sold to child slavery

    Station still reeling from tsunami parody

    Howard Stern Show synopsis

    Howard said he heard the song and it was lame, unfunny and poorly produced. He also said the song was really out of line for mocking people who are dying from a natural disaster. Howard said because he's leaving terrestrial radio, many of these "shock jocks" are tripping over themselves to replace him by being as shocking as possible. Howard predicted that once he's over at SIRIUS, we will hear about a lot of DJ's getting in trouble because they'll be trying to be as shocking as possible to get headlines. Howard listened to a clip from the Miss Jones Show the other day and said that Miss Jones just screams a lot, it was really annoying to listen to.

    What he found almost more offensive than the Tsunami song, however, was the promo the show ran going into a break. In the promo, they claim to be the "#1 morning radio show in New York." Howard wondered how they were able to claim that distinction since he's the #1 morning show in NY with an 8.0 while the Miss Jones show was #9 with a 3.7. Howard said if everyone can just say they are #1, what's the point of actually being #1? Robin wanted to know why Miss Jones wasn't fired after she played the song on her show four times! Howard said it looked like someone else had to take the fall for her.

    This morning from 6 to 10 was hosted by someone named "E-Bro" who took calls on-air about the controversy. Most of the calls they took were in favor of bringing Miss Jones back. Many people have reported to me that when they called to speak against bringing the show back they were screened out. (Most audio files courtesy of Hiphopmusic.com). They're not saying whether the suspension is permanent or temporary, or whether it is a paid suspension, or whether the suspension includes Miss Info.

Furthermore, their program hosts incite race-based violence", Council Member John Liu stated. "WQHT-FM and its corporate parent must be penalized for their hate-programs. We call on the FCC to take decisive action."

    What You Can Do

    Complain to Hot 97's Sponsors!
    The most effective way is to complain to the radio stations advertisers, and to CC Emmis, Hot 97, Hot 97's Advertising team via email or snail mail. Remember, he says the "Tsunami Song was 'brought to us by' Sprint"! Feel free to use the sample letter below.

    Sample Letter

    [Address line 1]
    [Address line 2]
    [City, State/Province Zip Code]
    [Date]

    [Recipient Name]
    [Address line 1]
    [Address line 2]
    [City, State/Province Zip Code]

    Dear Sir or Madam:

    I am writing you concerning an extremely offensive parody aired on the “Miss Jones in the Morning” radio show on WQHT (Hot 97).

    In essence, the radio program aired a horrifying song that mocked the South Asian tsunami victims, using racial slurs such as “chink” and “Chinamen” and refers to the drowning victims as “bitches”. In addition, the show’s hosts, Miss Jones and Todd Lynn, verbally berate another host, Miss Info, who is Asian, for objecting to the song. At one point, Todd Lynn goes so far as to say that he is “gonna start shooting Asians”.

    For your reference, below is a sample of the unspeakably offensive lyrics of the song:

    There was a time, when the sun was shining bright
    So I went down to the beach to catch me a tan
    Then the next thing I knew, a wave 20 feet high
    Came and washed your whole country away

    And all at once, you can hear the screaming chinks
    And no one was saved from the wave
    There were Africans drowning, little Chinamen swept away
    You can hear God laughing, 'Swim you bitches swim.'

    [Chorus]
    So now you're screwed, it's the tsunami,
    You better run and kiss your ass away, go find your mommy
    I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head
    And now your children will be sold to child slavery

    Although Hot 97’s station owner, Emmis Communications, has issued an apology regarding the song, I do not feel that their apology justifies the offensiveness of the act. I urge your organization, as responsible corporate sponsors, to contact Hot 97 and demand this program’s elimination from the radio, demand termination of Miss Jones and Todd Lynn’s employment from Hot 97 and/or pull any further advertisements from Hot 97. I would be ashamed of sponsoring a station that promotes such blatant racism against Asian-Americans in our multi-cultural society.

    Thank you for taking the time to address my concerns and I eagerly wait to hear your response.

    Sincerely,
    [Sender’s Name]

    A complaint may also be filed with the Federal Communications Commission which enforces laws prohibiting "the broadcast of indecent programming during certain hours" (including profanity).

    Valentine's Day Protest Against the Tsunami Song!

    Date: Monday, February 14th, rain or shine
    Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm
    Location: to be determined by Newsday!

    Join the Coalition against Hate Media's protest against Hot 97's Tsunami Song! Where will the protest be? We'll let Newsday decide! Coalition members have asked Newsday, a major advertiser on Hot 97, to withdraw its advertising from Hot 97's morning show by 5:00pm on Friday, February 11. If Newsday refuses to withdraw their advertising, we will protest at the Newsday offices. If they do withdraw their advertising, we will have a victory rally at the Hot 97 studios. Sprint, McDonald's, Reebok and Toyota have all pulled their ads from Hot 97's morning show.

    Join us in pressuring Newsday to do the right thing and withdraw their support of Hot 97's morning show! On Valentine's Day, celebrate love by speaking out against hate! If Newsday does not withdraw their support of the morning show, we will protest at the Newsday offices:

    Newsday
    2 Park Avenue (at 33rd Street)
    New York City

    If Newsday does withdraw their support of Hot 97's morning show by Friday, February 11, we will hold our victory rally at the Hot 97 studios:

    Hot 97
    395 Hudson Street (at West Houston St.)
    New York City

    Email notices will be sent out no later than Friday evening, February 11, to let everyone know exactly where the rally will be. Also, you can check Asian Media Watchdog or call 212) 560-5683 for updated info over the weekend, and in case of severe weather.

    Although the station has fired two of the people involved and has offered to donate money to tsunami relief, it's not enough! They cannot just fire two people and throw money around when the station has a systemic problem and promotes a culture of hate. The station must commit to changes that will prevent similar incidents in the future. Bring signs against hate, against racism, and against the tsunami song! Signs with wooden sticks are not allowed, but cardboard tubes and hand-held signs are allowed.

    The Coalition Against Hate Media (CAHM) is a broad coalition of community groups that opposes programs and broadcasters who deliver messages of hate against people of any race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or religious background.
