In a way, it's a little bit of both. <br /><br />Even though I am Asian-American, I do not think KTVU intended this to be a "racist" thing. This isn't the deep south. Asians are well known and respected out here. Mayors of both SF and Oakland are Asian-American. <br /><br />However, Asian-Americans are right to feel somewhat offended. It may not be directed at KTVU but what happened on TV had played out in real life for many people in their lives. Asians (especially immigrants) are made fun of the accents or (surprise) their names. <br /><br />So while KTVU did not have racist intentions (in my mind), people have the right to be offended if they choose to be that way. Calling people names will not help the situation. <br /><br />Personally, I choose to observe this carefully and want to know how this mistake got to the air.

Say specific things like, "They have to go on the air at such-and-such a time and do certain things," or "They haven't yet done X, Y and Z. This is precisely how they should do them." Go ahead.

I know you're tired of that question. I just know that his violin concertos were so, over the top intricate and dazzling. I still listen to his piece called Scottish, inspired by his visit to the dark, misty glens. For those of us who like that kind of music, there can only be one Felix. Most know him from The Wedding March organ theme.

You have provided a sequence of barely connected, vaguely self-aggrandizing, statements about yourself and flowery homage to helping people, but no apparent point. <br /><br />One is left to wonder about the ambiguous antecedent that <i> "is a good thing to have under you belt if you are considering a political bid."</i> And who exactly is considering a political bid anyway?<br /><br />Even if you can't write clearly, you still know your grammar, spelling, and love to demonstrate your superiority in that regard. You should consider working as a proofreader.

We all knew then, as you should now, that it is notoriously non-tenurial. I decided to add to my survival skills by using broadcasting income to fund post-graduate education. Whether it's medical school or law school, or some other licensed profession,you are the one who controls how much or how little or at what age you work.The gratification is often attenuated and not so instant, but you can derive great happiness helping people secure their rights and benefits. It pays well. Additionally it's is a good thing to have under your belt if you are considering a political bid.
