The latest developments in the Jersey Guys situation... It appears that NJ 101.5 FM has agreed in writing to the following:
Issue an on air, formal and blanket apology by the "Jersey Guys"
Invite Jun Choi (the Korean American candidate who was attacked) to be a guest by "Jersey Guys"
Cultural sensitivity training for all 101.5 FM employees
Public access programming focused on promoting awareness of the contributions of Asian Americans
Diversity committee established at 101.5 FM with community members to foster cross-cultural understanding
Personally, I think all these measures are pretty much useless—too little too late, really. No matter what happens, it's just a case of the station covering its ass. None of these gestures can truly be considered genuine. Still, I suppose it does signify some kind of victory.
