STL fires DJ for Racial Slur; Harvard Praises Witzel for Worse

Harvard University has praised Professor Witzel for spending his weekends on IER, making racist slurs against Indian-Americans and Indians in general.

IRFFAN is delighted to present the contrast:

a) How low-class outfits behave:

"Radio Host Fired for Using Racial Epithet
By CHERYL WITTENAUER
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A St. Louis radio station quickly fired a talk show host for uttering a racial epithet as he talked about Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on his morning show Wednesday.

Dave Lenihan apologized on the air immediately after making what he said was a slip of the tongue. KTRS president and general manager Tim Dorsey agreed the remark was accidental but said it was nonetheless ``unacceptable, reprehensible and unforgivable.''..

``She's been chancellor of Stanford,'' Lenihan said on the air. ``She's got the patent resume of somebody that has serious skill. She loves football. She's African-American, which would kind of be a big coon. A big coon. Oh my God. I am totally, totally, totally, totally, totally sorry for that.''

He said he had meant to say ``coup'' instead of the racial slur.
.. Twenty minutes after the utterance, Dorsey went on the air to apologize to Rice and KTRS listeners. ``There can be no excuse for what was said,'' Dorsey said. ``Dave Lenihan has been let go. ... There is enough hate. We certainly are not going to fan those flames.''

(And we don't want to compete with Harvard, which has the market cornered..)
..
Reached at home, Lenihan said he was still trying to figure out what happened and was drafting a letter of apology to Rice. He said he never uses the slur he uttered and thinks Rice is ``a fantastic woman.''

Lenihan, formerly a drive-time host at WGNU radio in St. Louis, had been at KTRS for less than two weeks.... ``Ratings were going well. It kind of stinks.''

b) Compare that to how Harvard handles matters:
Professor Michael Witzel called Indian-American Hindus: "HIINAs", commended the creation of crematoria for them, and has joined "FOSA" which includes Harvard alumna Ayesha Jalal, who has argued in writing for terrorist strikes inside India to kill Indians.

IER Lat*in* Scholar Joannna Kirk praised Harvard for its encouragement of Prof. Witzel. See earlier post on IRFFAN reporting this - IRFFAN is always ahead of the curve.

President Summers could not be reached for comment, since he was cleaning out his office toilet with his bare hands, but a Hahvahd Co. spokesperson expressed the corporation's deep pleasure at Professor Witzel's efforts.

"Our name recognition has shot up 40000% since Michael made his "Hiinas" thesis. We are now ranked higher than Saddam Hussein and Pol Pot. With this new association with FOSA we hope to surpass Prof. Adolf Harvarditler and Prof. Moriarty. The new IPAC ConSlutting operation is also taking off very well. In Pakistan, we are welcomed into the innermost recesses of the Presidential Palace and Al Qaeda Headquarters, mostly since our Lat*in* scholarship was publicized - they had no skills at all before that in Lat*in* cleaning before Michael and Steve Farmer published their great works".

Harvard continues to cover Witzel's musharraf. What a great institution!!
