Has anyone seen A Day without A Mexican? What would the world be if we went one step further? A Day without An Asian? Think about it, if just half of the sweat shops in China took a week off. Japan, Korea cut their electronics, automotive output by 1/2. Wal-Mart would have to close half its stores. Many car dealerships across the nation would have to either close up or change to sell "American" (not necessarily built in US) cars only. How many recalls have Ford, GM, Chevy had in the last 2-3 years? How about Toyota, Honda, Nissan or Hyundai? Can we still call them "foreign" cars? See below:

Recently I read a report in a local news paper, it mentioned quite a number of students with high academic achievements. All (about 10 of them) but three were "real" Americans, the rest were Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and Indians (India). Yet, when I looked up this website,

Asian students only make up 4% of the school population in most cases. Go visit any university in California, from UCSD, UCLA, UC Berkley, to Stanford, you see all these Asian students. Are they all beneficiaries of the Affirmative Action? I don't think so.
I doubt many, if any, of these DJs have any idea just how the "minorities" have contributed to the society? These individuals are as shallow as the comments they make. The same goes to the program managers, producers, and station owners, for failing to educate their employees.
Sure, I will probably never shake my accent although slight. My 2 and 4 year old sons can understand and communicate in 4 languages we regularly use at home. I'd be shocked if they (DJs) can speak grammatically correct English!
