Nick DiPaolo & Artie Lange reprimanded after Asian ‘community spokesman’ complains

March 20, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

From the Los Angeles Japanese Daily News (!)

Los Angeles-based Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) is praising DirecTV for disciplining two on-air staffers who, after discussing New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin, asked their listeners to call in with “the most racist Asian jokes you know.”

Although the disc jockeys apologized two days later, they invoked the Ku Klux Klan and did not adequately explain what they had done. After MANAA asserted the apology was not enough, DirecTV placed them on probation.
