GTA - I was astonished and angry to hear a male DJ on 102.5 FM make a racist joke this morning. He and the female DJ were remarking on a newstory about a 33 pound cat owned by a family in China. He said jokingly "33 Ibs! In China, that would be breakfast, lunch, and dinner".

I want to send him an e-mail requesting an on-air apology. Does anyone know the name of the DJ? I heard this at 8:50 am this morning.

The radio station's website is:

http://www.1025fm.com/music.cfm

EDIT: Okay, requesting an apology is too far, but the DJ's comments were inappropriate. While they might not meet the definition of being racist, they are poisonous words that paint the people of China as uncivilized or barbaric. The great majority of Chinese do not eat cat or dog. It's just that they are not banned from doing so.

[FastFokker]

So you thought it was a racist joke, and instead of moving on in your life, you decided to dwell on it and worse, REPOST it on here?

C'mon now.

I'm going to send him an email and tell him I thought it was a funny joke, but to beware because there's a LOT of people who don't understand humour.

I think it's Dean Blondel (not sure on spelling). Last time I checked, he's the morning D.J.

[pfdude]

Dean Blundell is on 102.1 (The Edge)

If you want to send him angry mail, go ahead. He'll say it on the air and make fun of you.

How is that racist.It is part of the life style in china.

[teknoluv]

If you feel offended, you have every right to complain. But make sure you don't write to the DJ(s), but their boss. Good luck. By the way, is it a U.S. station?

[d_jedi]

You think that's racist?
Ooh.. you'd better not google "cats in the kettle", then.. :D

[SAS-1]

Next thing you know he'll be making jokes about Italians eating spaghetti! :mad:

[NDman]

That's not a racist joke. That's s stupid joke. Do you have any idea how much 33Lb-worth of food is? I doubt any normal people can devour that much within a day except for some royally overweight people from our neighbour. The joke should read

33Lb? That's breafask, lunch, and dinner only in America. :twisted:

[EDIT: /sarcasm]

[Blunt]

That joke is not racist.
It is culturist (offense against the culture).


hmmmm.. do I make anysense.. :confused:
ahhh, forget it. Just shoot me now.

Dude, before you start dealing your racist cards, its a known fact that you can buy Cat Meat in China to be eaten. Try doing a little research before you assume they're just making a racist comment.

Non edgy humor ftl.

[15-20_God]

the only thing i would complain about the joke was that it just wasn't funny.

now had he mentioned the cat was an attempt to produce a cheap imitation of the fat american pu$$y he's been hearing about, then i'd be laughing.

[frugalman]

yea i understand you are angry, but fact is some chinese people do enjoy a cat once in a while. btw, i'm chinese and no i don't like cat and will never try it. all i'm saying is the joke does have some factual info in it. but at same time, not all chinese people eat cat.

Isn't that why Paul McCartney cancelled his tour of China??

...some issue with dogs being eaten or treated inhumanely or both ( don't recall which )

[CodecX81]

as a cat owner, I find that horrible. That cat did not look happy or healthy and will most likely die of kidney failure. >:( Our two are a healthy 8-12lb each and I hope they stay active and healthy all their natural life!

And i heard the joke, I chuckled, but it wass definitly not racist. Its people like you who pull the race card on stupid crap like this that discredit the true race issues that should not be ignored.

It's not racist at all. It's like saying, Italy cooked the largest pizza - that's 1 year of food for them right there.

You should record the joke, add a few worse ones, go back to china telling everyone how bad canada is, burn some embassies and start general riots, demanding a public apology from the canadian government! :evil:

I googled "cat meat china" and this was the first link I found. I could care less as the biasness of it. There were over a million other pages I could have quoted. Chinese people eat cat. Not all Chinese people, and not all "people of Chinese decent" eat cat. But in China, you can purchase cat and eat it. This is a fact. Therefore, the joke isn't racist, but illustrating a point. Just because it plays into a stereotype you don't like doesn't make it racist. Your interpretation of it makes it racist.

For example, to claim that Iran is filled with Radical Violent Extremists isn't racist...its true! To claim that people in China eat cats isn't racist...its true! Anymore than its true that Americans are fat, and Germans smoke a lot.

Sure I believe eating cats and dogs happens in China. For the record I also don't think the joke was racist or intended to be racist.

I'm just pointing out that you stated something as fact and backed up your claims with that dopey website. :lol:

Well to elaborate, here's the quote:

He said jokingly "33 Ibs! In China, that would be breakfast, lunch, and dinner".
The OP already admits it was a joke, furthermore, the comments specifically said "China" and not "Chinese people".

Therefore it's not racist, as China is not a race.

Hrmm... don't know about that one! :lol: Here's a definition from dictionary.com:

A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.

[Oni-kun]

There is no such thing as race. No such thing. Its socially constructed bull$hit. Think about it, only a small fraction of our DNA determines physical characteristics such as skin colour, or shape of eyes etc... Would it make sense if I told a room of people to raise their hands if they are lactose intolerant then call them a different race? No.

[poedua]

Hrmm... don't know about that one! :lol: Here's a definition from dictionary.com:

A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.

Interesting, so there is a ..

- Jewish race
- German race
- Swedish race
- Finnish race
- Danish race
- Irish race
- Russian race
- American race

....you learn something every day :)

[poedua]

Hrmm... don't know about that one! :lol: Here's a definition from dictionary.com:

So if an African-American ( i.e in colloquial terms....a "black ") moves and decides to live in Germany for the rest of his life as German citizen...do we say this former American is now a part of the German race ?

Or if a Chinese student moved to live full-time in Germany as a citizen ...he too .....is now part of the German race ?

[ainsane]

Interesting, so there is a ..

- Jewish race

Why did you add Jewish to that list exactly? As far as I know... that's a religion, not a country!

Hey we all have different interpretations of meanings. If you believe the there is no such thing as race.. that's great. No point in arguing about it on the internet. BTW I see you're point. But I'de still say Chinese people are a race.

[FastFokker]

BTW I see you're point. But I'de still say Chinese people are a race.What happens with a Chinese person who moves to Canada and becomes a Canadian person?

Are they now the Canadian race or are they still the Chinese race?

Or would you do us all the honour of saying neither and that it all makes sense now. :lol:

[poedua]

Why did you add Jewish to that list exactly? As far as I know... that's a religion, not a country!.

it was meant as sarcasm, because being Jewish is not a race.





But I'de still say Chinese people are a race.

Fine.

So, where do people of the "Asian race " live ? Which country ?

Would also say being Japanese "people "is a race ?

Would also say being Korean " people " is a race ?

[xKagex]

I'm a part of the human-race!
(the part that doesn't eat cats, mind you).

There are people in European countries who eat horse-meat. I wouldn't be offended if there was a story of a large horse and the DJ said "Wow, that would feed a dutch family for a year!".

I believe he added it because it fits the definition posted by you.

if Jews is not race, the above definition is not exactly right.

BTW, I don't think Chinese eats cat. At least, it is not common. I think it is mainly because it is either not enough meat or it tastes bad.

http://www.mystar1025.com/listings13238.asp

Morning guy is Rob Lucas.

For for humour, yeah, it wasn't funny, but even up here in Canada, where broadcasters have a much shorter leash, DJs have gotten away with worse, being told by the Broadcast Standards Council that while their stuff was in poor taste, it wasn't deemed racist (no cites on hand, but I googled this stuff a few months back).

[FastFokker]

If it's an American station, well good luck considering you're a Canadian.

If it's a Canadian station, good look with your complaint. Morning shows are all about gaining listeners, regardless of method, so if you complain they will see that it worked. (Any publicity is good publicity)

A complaint against a Canadian show is just reinforcement that yes they are on the cutting edge, right where they want to be.

If you want to really hurt them, then just stop listening to the radio station.

all this talk about food makes me hungry for some cat

*meow*

[FastFokker]

I've never tried cat, I wonder what it tastes like.

I'm against eating cats, but I'm also against eating cows and chickens. I find the hypocrisy of what's edible a joke.

I still will eat chicken and beef on occasion (and as little as possible), so I'm obviously not above eating cat.

I consider myself a vegetarian who eats meat. :D
