Star & Buc Wild: Racist on the Radio

Moorish Girl posts to this item from Turbanhead. Apparently, the wakeup crew at Philadelphia’s Power 99 radio think that it’s absolutely hilarious to call a customer service line outsourced to India and berate an employee with sexist and racist banter.
The MP3 has been removed from the Power 99 site, but, in the event that Turbanhead’s servers get overloaded on this, I’ve mirrored the file here and I urge anyone who cares to host the file too. For those who can’t play audio at work, here’s a transcript:
NARRATOR INTRO: Wakeup with Star and Buc Wild in the mornings of Power 99 FM.
STAR: I’m going to play this call from earlier before we get out of here. This is the, uh, call that I made to — I thought it was a company here locally. Not that I was surprised.
(laughter)
STAR: I saw this infomercial about, uh, what are these things called again? Oh, the, uh…
FEMALE VOICE: Bead? Oh shoot.
STAR: Anyway, let — let’s just play the call. I was surprised when I got somebody on the line in East India. These little beads that I saw. Little white kids, uh, a little machine that puts them in their hair.
FEMALE VOICE: Mm’hm.
STAR: Play it.
(tape begins)
STEENA: This is Steena. How may I help you?
STAR: Hi, Stain-a, you say?
STEENA: Yes.
STAR: (in fake Indian accent) Yeah, I called and I just got hung up on. I’m calling from America about the quick beads for my daughter’s, uh, hair. Quick beads.
STEEA: Okay. May I have your ZIP code please?
STAR: 10274.
STEENA: 10274?
STAR: Yes. Get it right. Now are you in India? Because I just spoke to someone in India who hung up on me.
STEENA: Thank you. I am from India, ma’am.
STAR: Okay. So my call is being outsourced to India.
STEENA: That’s right.
STAR: In… in regards to my six year old, white American daughter who wants to get the quick beads like Serena and Venus Williams.
STEENA: Now. I’ll definitely place an order for that. See…
STAR: What’s that?
STEENA: …in the ad, she called to place a quick bead of counier. To ensure proper handling…
STAR: Ma’am, I don’t know what the hell you’re saying. Hang on a second. Let me try and get something straight here. The quick beads, like Venus and Serena Williams, that to advertise to — to the white kids on television. This call has been outsourced to India?
STEENA: That’s right.
STAR: Well, ma’am, what the eff would you know about an American white girl’s — uh, uh — hair? And quick beads.
STEENA: Just to inform you, ma’am, we’re a national chain services company. And we’re just taking calls on the opposite…
STAR: Listen, bitch! Don’t get slick with the mouth! Don’t you get slick with me, bitch!
STEENA: Now if you continue to speak this language, I will disconnect the call.
STAR: Listen to me, you dirty rat eater. I’ll come out there and choke the eff out of you.
(laughter)
STAR: You’re a filthy rat eater. I’m calling about my American six year old white girl. How dare you outsource my call? Get off the line, bitch!
(laughter; end of tape)
STAR: Pull it up.
(laughter)
STAR: Heard they listen well out there.
The call letters of Power 99 are WUSL. It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to learn that the station is owned by Clear Channel. In light of the station’s Stop the Violence and Increase the Peace campaign, it might be worth addressing this verbal violence to the WUSL manager and to Clear Channel Corporate. Letters written on actual paper or faxes are the best way to deal with this. Emails can be overlooked, but paper is a physical presence. You can find addresses and fax numbers right here:

Ron has pointed out that DJs Star and Buc Wild have been added to WWPR-FM (Power 105.1) in New York (also a Clear Channel radio station). Clear Channel has apparently invested $17 million to sign Star and Buc Wild to the morning lineup. In addition to WUSL, Star can currently be found on Hartford’s WPHH station.
Star apparently has a history of savage radio behavior. In fact, he prides himself on being “the Hater” and his website notes that “he has the audacity to be unconstrained by neo-conservative intellectual influence.” The exclusive Star interview further notes, “Hate is one of the truest natures of mankind. We’ll always have Hate, even when we branch into outer space and set up new civilizations. To eradicate hate would mean becoming desensitized or emotionless” and then qualifies this statement with a followup, “Does a fat bitch love cheeseburgers? Absolutely.”
When he worked at WQHT, he played plane-crash sound effects when Aaliyah died, complete with a woman screaming, causing his former co-host Miss Jones to walk out. Star has promised to “bury his old station” when he gets to New York (the first show is set for January 17, 2005.
Of course, listeners aren’t really the people who matter in corporate radio. Advertisers do. It might be fruitful for watchdogs in Philadelphia and New York to keep a list of loca and national advertisers that air commercials during Star’s broadcasts on Hartford’s WPHH and Philadelphia’s WUSL. And when Star moves to New York on January 17, maintain the list of advertisers on WWPR.
If we hope to win the war against hate radio, then the time has come to mobilize with diligence and action. And that means paying attention to who pays the bill.
(UPDATE: It’s also worth noting that Star’s real name is Troi Torain. He’s also made anti-Semitic comments. Funny how he’s sensitive when J-Lo uses similar language. Apparently, Torain’s former New York employer Emmis has been trying to block his WWPR gig. Torain was suspended after the Aaliyah incident. The clause in his Emmis contract has kept him off New York radio until this year. That didn’t stop him from ripping about 20 award plagues from WQHT and storming off the office. And there’s more, even a book deal.]
[FURTHER UPDATE: The outcry has resulted in Star & Buc Wild being suspended for a day. Thanks in part to your efforts, Power 99 FM received more email and phone calls in the entire station's history.
But this is only the beginning of the fight. Since the two DJs have been repeatedly hateful and since the one day suspension amounts to a consolation prize (Star & Buc Wild were moving out of Philly anyway), the DJs will quite possibly settle into the new routine at 105.1 FM in New York. If there are any able listeners in New York willing to keep track of advertisers, now would be the time to mobilize for a future campaign. Because in light of their history of abusive radio, these two will try again. ]
[THIRD UPDATE: Because of the abusive comments (despite my repeated requests), I have closed the comments. I'm appalled by the behavior from some people here. Hate is not the way to respond with hate. I can understand anger, but by drawing generalizations about Africans or Americans, you are giving into the same spiteful tone voiced by Star. And I don't enjoy my mailbox being pummeled with hatred.]

I propose that we round up all Clear Channel’s morning show shock jocks and put them on an island without electricity. Who’s with me?
Last year, a bunch of their stations in North Carolina (and a few other states, I believe) were urging listeners to run bicyclists off the road. For discipline, they had to run commercials telling bicyclists to be safe(!) and give way to cars. Bleh!
Thank you so much, Ed, for taking the time to transcribe the call. Great, great work!
Outstanding post. Another notch in the clear channel sucking belt.
I’m unable to hear MP3s at work, so I appreciate the transcription.
I’d like to re-iterate the power of faxing over emailing. Especially since THEY PAY for the paper & ink.
This time it’s personal

Edward Champion’s Return of the Reluctant: Star & Buc Wild: Racist on the Radio. America the beautiful….
This is of a level I find completely unfathomable. Isn’t there some kind of law down there against this? Isn’t there a legal recourse? Why is this about advertising money instead of human rights? In Canada this would be national news. I guess I just don’t understand. I don’t even know how to respond other than with head shaking and a loose jaw.

P.S. Great post, Ed.
Dearest Ninja: Unfortunately, when it comes to obscenity, as seen with the Janet Nipplegate affair, the FCC will only investigate things that involve sexual functions. (See 182 U.S. Code Section 1461. Howard Stern, for example, was nailed through that conduit.) Things like this are par for the course on American radio, skating under the radar of both current indecency and slander laws.
So you’re left with a brain-dead media failing to pick up on this story and the only mobilization which will work: making the advertisers, the listeners, and the broadcasters aware of the hate they’re supporting. Which might be a good thing. Because if we can’t fight through the government conduits, we can find creative ways to tighten the economic noose, oddly enough in the same way that the other side has exploited it. After all, money DOES talk.
Racist Radio
Why are radio DJs always doing dumb racist things on air? This incident took place on Power 99 RM in Philly. Let me guess, they’re going to say it was just a joke and hey, don’t you Asians have a…
i thnk this is the stupidest thing ever….da star buc dud should just fuckin shut up because he is soo gay….n he shouldnt b doin dumbass stuff lik callin India….fuck u star buc wild u racist son of a bitch!!!
I sent a complaint to the FCC. If this isn’t obscene, I don’t know what is.
Hi, does anyone have the exact day and approx. time that this clip aired?
I’m filing with the FCC [which trust me, is the best way to go to get these people in trouble AND fined BIG TIME cause they are in hot air after that whole JANET fiasco] and I need to have that info to complete the complaint procedure!
If any of you are interested, please go to:
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/obscene.html to file as well! Make sure you comment that you HEARD the clip on the radio [not off website/email] and be sure to mention not only the racism, but the profanity and sexism as well!
I am completely shocked and outraged at this conversation. I cannot believe that listeners support and laugh at this type of outright racist, violent, putrid talk. Not to mention this man’s complete disregard for another human being.
I realize there is free speech in this country and I certainly don’t promote censorship, but in this day and age this type of hate-promoting, racist language should be screened. I would really like to know what can be done about this.
Ed, I appreciate your transcription very much and your awareness efforts to spread the word.
Hello, we have a discussion about this topic at the Yellowworld forums: http://forums.yellowworld.org/showthread.php?t=21101
I need to know the original air date and if possible, the approximate time (to the nearest hour) the segment occurred so an FCC complaint can be lodged (and actually be successful). Please e-mail me, post here, or on the YW forum. Thank you.
If 10 PTC complaints can result in a $1M fine, we can surely do better.
I have to say that I was absolutely shocked when I listened to the clip. I cannot believe that some people find this kind of thing funny. They should not be encouraging these racist ideas and spreading them throughout society. I am definitely going to write to the station and I encourage others to do so as well.
The smart way to deal with this is to contact the advertisers of the program and publicize the relationship of the advertisers with this ignorant bullshit.
yo wtf power 99 u guys r wack. im goign to make sure u pay for this with the fcc
fuck USA …FUCK G W BUSH AND HIS WIFE AND KID

Hello everyone,
I am Ruchir from India and got pointed to this site from a local news agency. I find it totally absurd to see something like this happening. How can someone dis-respect a human and his/her work.
Someon should actually teach that person that its their countrymen themselves who outsource the work here and they are at fault, not us. We don’t intend anything bad for your citizens, and we are awarded work on our own merit.
Its just pathetic that someone has the guts to do something like this. I’m actually quite happy at the response that people have given here…….. Thank you all… Its about human ethics and not about country rivalry !
-ruchir
Me thinks this guy is crazy and should be promptly sent to a lunatic asylum
first LMAO. afro-americans ( note i dint call ‘em niggers) are facing cruelest form of racism and those poor people can only take all that hatred on the indians or popularly known as “brownies”..Star being an afro- american “slave” is just venting out his anger on the whites.A guy from “philly”. yeah i can get that from the garbage he spoke. what on earth “rat eater”.. People in the us of a eat all kinds of living things. So dont u go about calling us the rat-eaters.
US OF A has become a big joke with the re-election of the “nose digger bush”. The aura was shattered with 9/11..
So no more filthy remarks about any other country..
Cingular & NBC are advertisers on the site for this show. Send them your protests.
I am sorry about this. I apolize to all Indians and other people, who have felt hurt by this. Sorry.
Regards
motherfucking son of a bitch star and bucwild. did u two get the fuck out of ur mothers asses. because u dirty son of a bitches are smelly and racist. think u guys are shit eaters and piss drinkers. thats what you two are.
This STAR ‘thing’, don’t want to call ‘it’ a person, calls itself an American! Any wonder!!
Son of a damn bitch!
rob.halpern@nbc.com is the email address of the person who handles NBC advertising (this is the address you get when you link off the radio station page to NBC). Send him your protests.
Why you Americans outsource your works here?
Anyway, by this time, everybody in India knows the ‘great’ language of Americans…Americans use these words very often…I think, the time have come teach them how to respect language…
Evidently, a lot of people still have to read the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”. Star and Buc, the 2 ignoramuses, went everyday to get their “cheese” from their usual place. In the meantime, someone moved the “cheese” to a different location, and both these dudes were not agile or adaptable to change their ways, and find out a new route to find their “cheese” again. The point is - no one owns the “cheese”, not even the ones currently eating it, it keeps moving to the best possible location. You have to find new ways of getting to it. Will someone please tell these 2 dumbasses as well as their cheerleaders that?
Well I just heard the call from the net and that was really pathetic! Who was that fuckin’ RJ neway. He needs to get rammed really hard for what he did. And who are the fuckin’ people who found that funny.Guess All of ‘em are sick, they are just sick shit and need to be placed in some dirty rat hole so they can learn some good manners.
Fuck all of ‘em.
You can also protest to Verizon wireless & Vonage (http://www.vonage.com/help_contactUsForm.php) who are also advertisers. Do send them email. Trust me, this is more effective that using foul language on this web site.
I am not surprised. Many Americans truly believe what the RJ’s have said. But it is heartening that so many Americans are aghast at such behaviour.
Just to correct the transcript, the woman’s name sounds like Tina (not Steena). Tina is a pretty typical Punjabi name, and a lot of these call centers are in Gurgaon, next to New Delhi, which has a large Punjabi population.
Thanks guys for such a wonderful effort to stop rasicism. We need to see that the DJs are out of business and not get any job other than toilet cleaning
Thanks for bringing it to the notice of people world wide. But the fact of the matter is that Indians working in the call centres are subject to such racial abuse every now and then. People , lets make things clear it ain’t jus the cheap labour but also the effeciency of the work force which compels companies to outsource. No company would be outsourcing if the quality of service provided by india was poor. So rather than abusing call centre employees why dont citizens compete through better services.
Though such an act is regrettable, I do not see it lessening in future. The US govt must play a more pro-active role and educate people about out sourcing.I should also bring it to the notice of readers that out sourcing has infact created jobs in UK & USA. At last count it was 20,000 in UK and 140,000 in USA and the number will keep on rising. These jobs however would require to sharpen their skills. The rule is very clear and simple: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. And I am sure that americans are good at what ever they do. So why not move on and look at the brighter side of things.
well said, starhater.. that fat ass star wont even get a toilet - cleaning job.. he can just count upto 10.. eat shit, star
this is height of racism. one side american industry is raking in money by outsourcing jobs to india and other side this kind of manaics are creating trouble. this person should be chucked out immediately or else i appeal to every one to avoid listening to this radio
This is really a shame on the Americans.I dont blame the person who used the swear word.But the station which had the audacity to get away with this. The Radio station needs to be brought down and penalised heavily. Firing the person would only bring more publicvity to the radio station and they would try and think ways of doing more such stupid / idiotic things to catch ppls attention
I am really disgusted at some of the whites…
who think they are so intelligent…
one of them is this radio jockey in quesiton !
why do u guys in US listen to this radio station at all !!!
just ban this… or boycott it…. and the guys will get straight…
also just get some goons to beat up the RJ !
It is really pathetic ! and I am totally against any such behaviour !
Kundan
Can v file a petition on petitionsonline for these stupid good for nothing DJs to be removed from any payroll
That’s Americans………!!!!!
They have no culture…!!!
And they have no right to talk like this to Indians who has a civilisation of 5000 years. On that time, what was the living status of this Americans..? Are they really Americans..? They are just Intruders..!! The real Americans are the Red Indians. Even they will not behave like this.
India is Greate with Ritch heritage of many thousand years of civilisation. Be proud of it.
Hmmmmmmmmmm Star & Buc Wild seem to think that they are doing something very Interesting for the listeners and seem to Enjoy it.But this is not what you are suppose to do at the stake of some innocent girl who does not even knows that she is being heard by so many people and that somebody is making fun of her.
I respect Steena and appreciate the way she handled the call.
I have been working for a Call center here in India for a Couple of Years and its VERY GOOD THAT THESE PEOPLE DID NOT CALL ME.Even though I know Phone Ethics, I Still can make the caller go crazy and Star & Buc Wild would have ended making a fool of themselves.(( any suggestions for we Indians as how to take calls from such people - write me on –CHIMPOO123@REDIFFMAIL.COM))
Really heartening to see that Americans feel so strongly about such racist comments.I do think, respect for an individual is something that is beyond geographical boundaries.and this incident claerly shows the shallowness of the RJs.(not of the American public at large).
Dear All,
Looking at all these things ,i found that we need to concentarte on imparting proper education to our children ( it is not specific to US citizens or others)so that they will not be racist.World has experienced in the past a lot of violence based on cast and creed and colour of the skin.
Business out sourcing is an art of communication technology and you shopuld not be worried about it as one day Mr.Star can also be contracted by a station in India or far east and will be broadcated to its listeners live.
The underlying point is that US government should reserve a good percent of it budget to improve the qualities of its citizens instead of improving the quality of life of Iraqis by invading their country killing 100 times more people than what Saddam may have killed in his regime and 10 more years he would have been in power.
I can’t believe tht this was actually aired??
Such a sick, racist, sexist and filthy show.. and some people are actually laughing on his “joke”??
These two guys are fit to be fined heavily and banned from this kind of job forever.. they are a perverted set of people who are thriving on hate!!
The behavior should be condemned. And the person responsible should be brought to law accordingly. There are lot of bastards around who have hatred for other cultures/races and their asses should be whipped. What is disheartening is that the listeners were not only indifferent to the act but also enjoyed it. This shows the hypocrisy. low morality and level of the american mentality.
The owners of the channel should take the responsibility do the needful.
And more than general public showing the concern about the issue, it is the primary responsibility of the Indian firm to ensure their employees welfare and self-respect. And the issue should be strongly pursued by the employers of the lady to demand suitable action from the american counterpart.
but all of america is like this. Just that this guy came out and told this in public.. they think that america is the only country in the whole wide world and they are the smartest ones.Asians,europeans all get picked on here. asians are called the azns and the french, they always get picked on. wats rong wid these americans? they all have totally lost it.
http://www.petitiononline.com/removest/petition-sign.html
Guys - this is getting too much.
No point in blaming the American community as a whole. The whole community cannot be blamed for the acts of these two black sheeps.
We (both Indians & a majority of Americans) do have reservations against the acts of these two characters. So we should adopt the right approach as suggested by “An American” and bring this to the notice of concerned people.
Let’s not get abusive.
Thanks.

Guys,
Sounds like the RJ had one too many the
previous night and was going through a
hangover..Who in their right minds would talk
such crap and get a laugh out of it..I am sure
that this is not an ‘India’ related issue,
if this Call center was in Mexico for E.g.
I would still be Outraged at the RJ’s rude/uneducated comment.
Looks like the RJ’s themselves are afraid thinking that their job might be Outsourced to
India one day..where the RJ’s would be sitting
in India for American Radio Listeners…hahaha
that would be cool to see…{Great idea by the way}!!
LAter,
Ra.
Star and Buc wild? You think you ppl are haters well u r not only haters but also hated. You must be a son of a bitch thats y u call evryone a bitch. You eff in americans don’t have the eff in capacity to take care of your own customers dats y ur eff in calls are outsourced to india. otherwise you eff in american would be paying out of your nose for those eff in beads. Don’t make a fool out of innocent people. You will definately be punished by God for this over-confidence and over-smartness. If you get respect you should give respect.
I guess thats all Star & Buc Wild can do. If they were capable of doing the job that Steena is doing probably it wouldn’t have been outsourced.
Anyway some Americans have skewed sense of humor. They can’t appreciate humor unless it contains words like F#@$, Bitch and pigs. These guys are just catering to those American’s taste.

Already Indians by their sheer intelligence and honesty have taken over many jobs from the Americans, whatever stupid jobs like the ones of these radio stations are left with the americans will be outsourced to India very soon and its not too far before the Americans will be made to laugh seeing their own dirty ass.
Hi,
Mothafuckers, Wait till I beat the shit out of your white fuckin Asses and the shit comes out like beads and you can wear it in your hair. We can repeat the process till your hair turns yellow and you can be called as Assimmilated Head
Fuckin Blank White BUnch
It’s disheartening, shocking and embarassing..i just heard the mp3 and it’s no good picture to be at the receiving end of this shit..i empathise with you Steena….
a people’s campaign must be propagated at this and they all must write to FCC both at individual and group levels…
Good work Ed!
interesting post. the niggers do have a right to say what they want. after all the niggers cant stay out of jail while the niggerina’s are happy in their cuntry. so to all my “rat eaters” give the nigger a wink and let it go - u got the money - why bother ?
It is quite heartening to see people from varied backgrounds and countries say this was ugly. However, I would say that reacting to these guys is exactly what they want. They want publicity.
A bunch of losers who don’t know any other way of getting into the news.
I think the only people who should be pulled are the those who are owning the radio-station. They have these people on even though they are having a history of spreading hate. And if the radio-station mgmt. is just as bad then there is little we can do!!
Also, I’d advise my fellow Indians to refrain from abusing all Americans. It is unlikely the whole nation is that bad or racist.
Regards
Satish
There is no mistake of that poor girl. RJs should understand that, its not the girl who made th e job outsourced, but their own Corporate Biggies.
This is very sad, as a Indian (more as a person), I felt sad seeing how people can behave so badly towards others.
Hi,
The language used by some Indians in this is really abusive. Please remember You are not contempting an abusive issue with another one. Why do you want to abuse all Americans for the big big mistake made by one RJ. Sujeet I hope you won’t take this personally.
Cheers
Ben
Is this the way to lead life? i hate these RJ guys man. such uncouth & illmannered behaviour and they call themselves as human beings. i heard the show and felt so bad for Tina.
Sorry tina - this is from rest of the human in the world. hope u guys join me in consoling her.
lets join hands to stub these kind of activity across the world. wish FCC slams a $10 million on these guys.
You bloody indians just make me sick.
There was a seriousness to this forum right at the beginning, right now this is nothing more than a “Who can abuse whom better” listing. By posting idiotic comments the Indians here make the rest of us Indians look as bad as Star and Buc Wild. Please take your misplaced patriotism elsewhere. Maybe help the Tsunami victims. It’s bad enough being insulted by others, to heap dirt on ourselves is worse. Else, just read, express you shock and move on. Get some perspective people.
I agree with An Indian. Do not fingerpoint the whole country for somebody’s stupid act. Please note, the whole isuse itself brought upto the ppublic by Americans. Please do not make statements like
“That’s Americans………!!!!! They have no culture…!!!”
If someone in India do something stupid, Do all we have to carry the burden for that mistake ?
I respect all of our emotions but DONT FORGET TO RESPECT OTHERS (thats the whole point we are talking about this RJ too :-))
IT’S SHOCKING!!!ANYWAY U CAN NOT EXPECT ANYTHING GOOD FROM STAR.
Americans are assholes
its outrageous. its like illtreating all the Indians. we should protest and also the Indian goverment should bring up this issue
Hi,
Good to see the overwhelming response to these ridiculous remarks. Hope this acts as an eye opener and the bastards get fired.
This has cross all limits!! I mean..not only this is disgusting, but its really sadistic as well…
This “Star..someshit wick” should be banned from airing any radio shows..forever. Not only that, the radio channel in question should also be made accountable..
BTW, its heartning that there r Americans who don’t share this Jackass’ ideas about Indians.
PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN..
SONU
A proper legal action shld b taken against these persons so tht no one dares to do it again
hahahahahah….well to be really true the comments posted are more funnier than the actual transcript
GREAT AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM PROUD OF YA ALL.
Is this the way you show respect to all nations???
What if some other guy call’s here in America and use the same filthy language to american ladies ??
I am really ashamed of all you americans who keeps on crying about outsourcing but cant realize, its America who is doing outsourcing. If you all are not “rat-eaters” then go and fight with your own business people. I hope one day god will definetely give you some senses to realise whatever Mr. Star has done. I feel more pity on those morons who laughed on whatever Star said.

Greetings everyone
I wont consder the DJ stunt as a response of general US populace. I just read an apology from the station manager in some associated news site who stopped short of cancelling the DJ`s assignment or asking them to apologise. Condoning the act of DJ and dissociating the radio station from it looks like the manager is trying to save him from the burnt of FCC fine. What would have been fitting would be to throw the DJ`s out considering repititive violation of racist abuse on radio.
Just to let American folks know, a typical Indian call centers employees earn in the bracket of $300 - $ 400 per month. Paltry as it may sound, it is doing wonders to the concerned folks.
The age profile is predominantly young english speaking college going students and in lesser number housewives looking at ways to increase family income.
This bracket never had any steady source of income before. They work normally when it is day in the US, which is night time in India. So, comes with the job is added stress of working at night. Whatever the negatives of this job. The plus side is suddenly the rise of young Indians who are confident, connected and dreamers. Wall Street journal has also done a nice article on Indian Call Center workers too.
There is more to those people than just cheap labour.
I guess Buc was licking Star’s xxx when all this happened..thats why the applause..
well said neptune……..that was 2 much!
People,
Pipe down.
It is pretty saddening to see a person getting amused by verbally abusing a fellow human being.
Talking (abusively) is one thing but intelligence,compassion is another.When the latter fails and the former reigns, it is the state of a mind in degeneration. We can only feel sorry for that senile mind.
The call center employee was just doing her job. It is important to express our feelings of support to her more than anything else.
India has taken enough of these innuendos and some really insensitive criticism on the outsourcing issue. We remain silent. We remain steadfast. We will not counter-abuse. We will do our duty.
This too shall pass. Dharma shall prevail!
bloddy fool- u one of “them”
Do it again you mother fuckers with some one in Soudi Arabia or Jordan, two more towers would be down and pentagon in pieces and beads would hang from your shit holes.
its outrageous. its like illtreating all the Indians. we should protest and also the Indian goverment should bring up this issue

http://www.petitiononline.com/removest/petition.html
A Big KUDOS to Steena for handling the whole episode..The Whole of INDIA is with UUUUUUUU…
GREAT JOB STEENA..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK..
First of all, this much emotion & venom for these RJs…of whom most haven’t heard is strange. Please guys don’t trash talk about culture and stuff. Lets not be them. I personally bewail the clip. For me, the most painful part of the clip was the RJ referring to India as ‘East India’.
Click here
It’s completely outrageous. It’s like ill-treating all the Indians. We should all protest against those jerks. The Indian goverment should bring up this issue and take some action about it.
This is pathetic to listen. How can radio stations have such RJs — Racist Jokers.
We will make a list of the advertisers who are listed immediately before,during and immediately after the show and boycott their products.
I think pple like Star promote racism rather than help destroy it. If they were called “niggers” I doubt if they would have reacted in the same dignified manner as Steena. But then again, “class” or “style” hardly seem to be a part of their vocabulary!
A Proud Indian
It seems this two mother fuckers of Power99 have eaten the Rat shit on the day morning and called her on the other end a Rate eater. If I had been in that girl’s position, I would have cut their balls using that phone line. They shouldn’t called RJs. They are the sons of the Bitch. The whole world knows the real face of some ODD ass hole Americans now. Let us wait and see how the Federal Communications Commission handles this issue.
Star and Buc are too pathetic, sadistic and derive pleasures from such pathetic and abusive language. It’s high time they are shown the door because they don’t seem to reform themselves, their disgusting and perversive behaviour continues unabated.
Nevertheless, I still think such people are islands of exception. America has got tremendous enterprise and it’s people are patriotic. Even if they don’t have much respect for other countries, every time it may not necessarily culminate into hate and abuse. They may keep it to themselves. But Star and Buc have went out of way and hurled racist abuses.
Let’s not criticise their doings and become them.
There’s an Indian saying, “An elephant does not pay heed to a barking dog.”
This is just a sign of individual’s mental weakness. When the ego of a person of a weak mind is bruised, he retorts to abuses. That’s what these RJ’s have done. They just have a weak personality. Some of them are just born that way. We should sympathise with such people who are born with pre-natal deformities and abnormalities.
Dear RJ’s,
It is very enlightening to know about your knowledge and your culture. People are aware of your false philosophies and democracy propaganda. It is a sign of how americans are educated!. HAIL AMERICA. I am not surprised, by these two people comments, when they have a leader who himself is a racist. Next time any of you people see white’s, spit on their faces!.
Star seems to be a LUNATIC.He does not represent the whole of America.But then such Lunatics exist everywhere,even here.The best way out is ignore them and don’t give such sort of free publicity.America is a great nation so in India.
Well, its pity that the person does not know anything about India other than hating them. Hoes is refeing India as “East India”. It would be better if Govt of India take up this issue and make this guy stay in India for some years so that his viewpoint can be changed.
Bloody bastard, how dare you talk to our girls in this tone…arse hole…son of a bitch…mother fucker
http://www.petitiononline.com/removest/petition.html
This is absolutely outrageous and totally unacceptable. But then, this is done by a few lunatics and we can’t and should not blame all americans. Barring those crazy ones, most americans are nice.
Those RJs should go though. Go ahead and sign that petition if you can:
http://www.petitiononline.com/removest/petition.html
This is very unfortunate. American think themselves as a world fuckers. Fuck the ass holes. Bloody white ass holes. I dont know whether they are born by the dick are by the ass.
Bhenchod madarchod …(it means sis fucker, mother fucker)….bastard american RJ
This is a Really pathetic and felt embarassed and wrath to read this. But we Indian people should control our emotions and not to blame whole country(to America) for such illtreating with Indians.
This is Bad side of Globalisation which is created by US Govt. and other developed country to push down the India’s and other developing countries Economy.
India is having no fear of such move of developing country.
Bush Govt. should think deeply on this again.
THis is absurd. The guy should have some thing in his head, who the hell he thinks he is.
WELL IF USING THE F-WORDS MAKE THESE MEN FEEL COOL … I THINK THEY ARE MISTAKEN THE US ECONOMY IS RUNNING ON OUTSOURCING SO BADLY THAT THEY JUST CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT .. I AM REALLY SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINTED AT THIS ATTITUDE OF SOME AMERICANS. HONESTLY THEY ARE THE SOCIAL MILITANTS THAT FUEL PEOPLE TO RAM PLANES INTO YOUR WTCs .. SO PLEASE MIND IT ..
they are not going to change ever…never…never..never
just ignore these junk * items…
and do not expact that someone will punish them, afterall they are their own…
But, should .uck them so they won’t try such thing again…
It is high time the Indian Government takes a firm step related to this kind of hatred being shown towards call centres. This is not the first instance such a thing has happened.
STAR IS A LUNATIC,
give him a tight kick,
NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE LIKE THAT,
they wont call anyone a brat,
AMERICA WILL PUNISH STAR FOR HIS DEEDS,
steena stuff star’s mouth with a million dirty-rat eating beads:)
It’s really nice to see many americans feel for the indian. We must all understand that incidents like these must not create any kind of a scuffle b/w the 2 nations who’ve till now had no probs with each other. Being an Indian, I’m proud of my country but these few americans who’ve felt for us have increased my respect to US.
Losers use soft arguments but hard words.
Winners use hard arguments but soft words.
So we indians use hard argument but soft word to show our anger.
This is absolutely rubbish way to talk to another human being, who’s just trying to earn her bread n butter.
Besides, this shows the standard of that person who can talk dirty to another human being.
Iam genuinely disgusted.
What the heck these guys think of themselves. One day the whole america will be moved to india.UK and US are merely returning the jobs they stole from India.Lets wait for sometime more.
Outsourcing . . . made them to outburst like this. Letz hope, RJs too to be outsourced to avoid this abuse.
See kids, thats what happens when u dont finish ur school.. then the options are either to beg for food or go to the media and badmouth someone.
The media pays a lot to have a famous or (in this case) infamous person onboard, which increases their ratings..
Sadly these remarks also disturb and strain relationships in the community, and hence should be stopped!
If u really care for fellow humans, plz sign this petiton.
http://www.petitiononline.com/removest/petition.html
GET THE NAMES RIGHT PLEASE !!
ITS NOT STAR..AND BASTRD..ITS BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD….DISPLAYING THE REAL AMERICAN CULTURE….
hy i am from india and I work as a tech support for an US base ISP which has outsourced jobs to India.
I dont accept the logic behind outsourcing outbursts….i wear levi’s …eat at Mc.Donalds,drink coke n pepsi..so finally my shit is american and why cant i have an american salary for that.
Hell with these anti-outsourcing American bastards.
These Americans r fuckin sick people…assholes
The RJ threatens to come to India and choke the eff out of her. Remember Americans, dont think that we are Iraq or Afghanistan that you will walk on us. You dare touch any Indian, we will chop each one of you into million pieces and feed you to the rats.
I was surprised to see such a stupid act from a RJ. How would the concerned department allow him to play a clip that they recorded. Is the fate of the radio station at the hands of such irresponsible people. Its a shame that the RJ had to do it. But yes, as you all have been saying, not all americans behave this way. Some of them like these are the real culprits. What if this guy records some verbal obscenity conversation with someone else. Wouldnt the radio station think about social responsibilities. This is bad and absolutely punishable. We all are with you “Steena”, whoever you are, whereever you are. We know you just did your job and everybody knows he tried to play a prank and nobody who behaves this way will be treated as humans.
Message to Racists and Haters the world over!
Educate yourself, get a job and stop stealing the rat-eater’s butter upstairs!
Message to Star!
I hope u never have to go back to ur country of origin…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaFFFFrica!!! You got rhinos who can shove beads up ur …
have a good one!
I will be really shocked if some action doesn’t take place against those two retards.They have no right to make such kind of comments and the FM station too shud be get banned for broadcasting such kind of content.
ELEPHANTS DONT ABUSE OR KILL ANOTHER ELEPHANT…(THEY JUST FIGHT,,,,THAT IT)
BUT HUMANS DO… ABUSE & KILL OTHERS INCLUDING HUMANS……….
RJ is a gay
these RJ’s r really sick…this just shows there attitude…they shud be screwed up severely…think the companies that hire them are responsible for not taking any action against them..
Well i don’t think all americans are like those two morons. Send both to india ,then we’ll make a real bitch out of those two.
What was so funny about that from Star and Buc ? Guys who do not know to speak, running a radio show. Isnt that so pathetic ? That is the reason the calls are being outsourced to India. They are more educated and know their manners than these assholes who do not know to respect or communicate. What kind of motherfuckers employed them in their company and that too in the morning show ? And there is a bunch of assholes who are laughing in the conversation. Probably they are also a part of the same group. Donkeys everywhere in the Power 99 Radio !!!
ya man, lets fight against this hate messages. i just posted mails to both the sponsorers. their mail ids r clay.owen@cingular.com
This is Height of Nonsense. They should be taught lesson.
I have created a new petition with proper wording. It will not only be sent to the FCC but also to the radio channel that aired it and its parent company. Please sign this petition:

One thing is sure all american companies coming to india because of their profits nothing else.why americans are crying for that.They have to speak to their government and decide don’t do nonsense things
all it takes is 2 Culturally deprived and emotionally handicapped racist pigs to come up with an idea…a radio station to host it and a nation of no-brainers to appreciate and laugh over it.
The girl who took the call is an example of what culture can do to an individual, the racist pigs are an example of what lack of culture can do to an individual
Americans always doubtedly think that they are much civilized and advance, but the reality is that they are day by day becoming wild and unpopular, only from Americans such a behaviour is generally expected,When they don’t respect their own parents then what else can be expected,even they don’t respect their national flag as many of the celebrities wear garments having the prints of their national flag, i think in order to compensate Steena, RJs must be put behind the bars as this act brought the shame for their country, in the end i would like to say that Steena plz forgive these civilized monsters.
WELL I URGE ALL OUR INDIANS TO MIND THEIR LANGUAGE. A COUNTRY IS REPRESENTED
BY ITS PEOPLE. FEW HAVE USED OBSCENE IMMATURE LANGUAGE, THAT SHOWS THAT
THERE EXIST MANY ‘STAR’S AMONG US AS WELL. PLS BE CAREFUL IN COMMENTING, SINCE
‘STAR’ REPRESENTED HIS COUNTRY AND YOU ARE REPRESENTED INDIA. WE SHOULDNT SPOIL
INDIA’S IMAGE WITH OUR IMMATURITY, HOPE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.
I DEEPLY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT SHOWN BY AMERICANS, PROTESTING AGAINST THE ROGUE ACT BY THEIR FELLOW COUNTRYMAN. SUCH BARKING DOGS BETTER BE IGNORED, SINCE INDIA’S OR INDIANS’ CHARM IS NOWAY AFFECTED BY THIS. ITS JUST THE SHOW OF HIS PSYCHED PERSONALITY AND LOW CHARACTER.
CHEER UP GUYS !!,
WE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN GIVE ATTENTION TO A BARKING STRAY DOG !
Guys no need to blame Americans as a whole for two idiots. Remember that even we in India have some racists, hindu and Muslim religious leaders. And that doesn’t make every Hindu or Muslim a culprit.
I have lived in America and they are more cultured than what we know of in India and didn’t experience any racist comment/action there.
Nobody has time and also nobody is interested in listening about 99% of normal people who are not racist, communal. So these one off cases gets publicised.
So I would like to request all Indians to target just 2 culprits and not Americans as a whole in their comments.
yo man what the fuck was that all about????i myself have worked in a call centre in india and i am happy to say that not all americans are racist but this is by far the worst abuse that i have heard.all u racist pigs in the US of A you are a fuckin big bunch of motherfuckin shit eatin losers!
Prabhakar, I won’t like to argue on this and this is off topic but Americans love their nation much more than we do. Their Nationalism gets displayed instead of “INDIANS” which includes myself, who loves to proclaim their love for country but that in noway translates in our actions.
I am really shokced by these obscence statements made by the RJ. What the Americans need to realise is that outsourcing works in both ways. Both parties tend to benefit from it and not just India. I should also highlight that Indian community in US is at the most successfuly community in US contributing in various innumerable fields. I can only say that the RJ has only made a “FOOL: of himself by naking all those commens. It is on account of few people like this RJ which give reflects poorly on the entire US.
Your economy will crash within a month without outsourcing. Fill those beads in your head as it’s clear that you don’t have brains and shut the eff up.
Oh about the rat eating stuff.. Be careful, the next time you eat a dish in an American hotel..you never know if their meat delivery is outsourced.
only god knows….
we indians have earned these jobs on our merit and not on americans mercy.
I think this is what is being taught in american schools and colleges .If this is how they have been brought up then, first thing that they shd be doing is to pack off the statue of liberty in a godown i.e that signifies liberty for all.
i appreciate hthe saner americans voice too as this is an indication that everything is not lost ,even thiugh the decay of american civilisation has begun.
the only thing i want to say those rjs that fuck ur mom
I wonder how many Americans have their panties up in a bunch over this.
What a bunch of assholes! Star and Buc Wild Huh! I bet they don’t even have a college education. Guys like these give Afro Americans a bad name. Sheet pretty soon these RJ’s job’s gonna be outsourced too. hehehe
Just a thought….. I believe it is incorrect blaming or abusing the whole american community for a dirty act by a few mischief mongers. Well realize that the whole outsourcing decision is also made by a few americans. As far as the incident is concerned I feel there are better tricks to play than to harass an innocent girl. But the truth is this could just be smoke we really do not know what else is happenning….. Should’nt there be some kind of law prohibiting such acts ???
Its not the fault of the call center girl that these two morons are unable to get any kind of job that requires education or intelligence. All they can do is sit on the microphone and abuse people. What a huge contribution to society! Let them be repaid in kind.
Lets outsource the radio shock jock nutcases too!
hello my name is anthony i am from india who the hell do he think he is to choke somebody those american can only talk big things in reality they are cowards you must have seen them when the 9/11 happened they were scared to death
hope you think before talking….
That was appalling. I wish more Americans take note of this and act against such behaviour. Actually that goes for people all around the world. Black, brown or white, how does it matter? That Star fellow probably is highly pleased at his ‘ability’ to insult and mock fellow humans. Even a 4 year old is capable of showering such abuses. Blame both for their abysmally low IQ levels. People like Star lead wretched lives and are mentally sick individuals. As their hatred builds, they resort to more odious crimes such as rape and thievery. Society at large must reprimand such behaviour, nipping them at bud. Incompetence (as in prominent in Star’s case) is the basis for such hate.
Kudos to Tina for keeping her cool thruout. That’s a job well done.
Raj
Well if they cant get their job done well then there is no point in abusing others out here. Shame on them!!!
Jai Hind
I am deeply shocked to know about this unfortunate incident. However, like many matured people correctly commented, we should not blame the entire american society for these two dumb hunk heads mistake. We all know this is nothing but venting their frustation for not able to achieve anything in live and just being a dumb continously yapping RJ.
Thanks to all americans who have opposed these skunks acts and i want to let you know on behalf of the entire nation that we deeply appreciate your gesture.
Indian guys, cheer up and lets buckle up to deal with more bull like this in future but with a lot more patience.
Avinash
See what kind of people are produced by the sexual union of their Mom’s and dogs? Such people, of whatever color, should be euthanized - painfully.
Fuck you both motherfuckers…Star n Buc Wild….
This is the deserving reply you need …you assholes………..
Hi,
Nice to know that they are getting angry…it means we are succeeding. Afterall, we have just REJECTED their aid. We dont need them as much as they need us.
Yes, I agree that Tina kept her cool and in doing so, has made us proud. Congrats, Tina
Ram
those dickead yankees..this incidence just goes to prove that they are so frutrated with their miserable fucked up life…and wot better way to vent it out on the indians,they might think..i really hope that those pricks get a million kicks up their arse and set examples for others to watch their filthy mouth.
WOULD YOU PLEASE SEND THOSE TWO RJ’S TO INDIA?
WE HAVE LOTS IN STORE FOR THEM. TRUST ME, THEY WILL LEARN A LOT!
FOR INSTANCE, HOW TO TALK FOR ONE FULL MINUTE WITHOUT USING THE WORD “FUCK”, HOW TO RESPECT A WOMAN, HOW STRONG ARE INDIAN WOMEN’S SLIPPERS, AND MUCH MORE. IT WILL BE A REWARDING EXPERIENCE FOR THEM.

STOP FIGHTING AND BLAMING EACH OTHER. I HEARD HOWARD STERN CALL GANESHA A DUMBO AND INDIANS MAKE FUN OF A INDIAN GUY WHO USED TO WORK WITH HIM. BUT DOES IT MAKES A DIFF. HOWARD STERN WILL NOT EVEN FIND A PLACE IN HELL.
HOW MANY PPL CAN WE FILE COMPLAINTS AGAINST.
THAT GIRL STEENA SHOULD HAVE CALLED STAR A NIGGER THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IT. OR MAYBE WHITE TRASH IF SHE WAS NOT SURE.
ALL AMERICANS ARE NOT BOOMHAUERS, THERE ARE SOME HANK HILLS AS WELL. WE HAVE TO BE LIKE KAHN WHO KICKS ASS OF THE HILLY BILLIES.
RJ STAR U ARE A NIGGA PIG.
Like Avinash said, lets not blame the entire American community for those two RJs. I heard the MP3 here and was totally shocked by it, but Tina kept her cool. I think Star n Bucwild should get a life. Oh btw, send them to India…Send them to Bangalore, we will show them who is the ‘Rat eater’
Lets forgive these guys … as Jesus ..
“THESE PEOPLE DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING” !!!
give respect and take respect
Fuck those Niggers !
This really shocked me. India is the best place to respect women, these people behaving like real racists. America need to concentrate on people like this first , then they may think about people from other countries, unclutured broote.
May god change these people
Send tose two dicks to india and we will send them back with lips on both the side of their bodies.
I am from Germany and i was directed to this recording from a local german website. Its apalling to say the least. I love America and the American people and i have spent major part of my life there. Sometimes i wonder why poeple around the world hate the americans so much. Now these kind of incidents makes it clear. Its not even a news in USA but i believe it will be a big news India. Nobody in that country will think of this as acts of couple of perverts but will generalise this as american behaviour. Anger will rise and Americans will be subjected to abuse when they visit India , those poor guys will wonder what wrong they have done and why is their country hated so much.
Perverts and illiterate assholes like Star and Buc should be put behind bars.
RJ STAR you shit eating pig… you should be ploughing horse shit off race tracks and lick shit off your hands…….. you are way off civilisation… yapping away doesnt means you are civilised… you reek of human-flesh eating medieval ogre. grow up .. get civilised… you goddamned racist.. you of all people! alas! you should have remembered your ancestors, your uncles and off course your fatherS before making those racist comments… you deserve to be lynched…..
Hi
Its not the 1st time that the stupid americans have spoken like this, its just the 1st time they have done on AIR, and in the process have likened themselves to “rat eaters….”.
Mind u silly americans… the calls which wud have DEFINITELY been made to some shit place in ur US of A landed in a holy land called India coz Americans themselves have been downgraded by these very OUTSOURCING companies. You were found to be totally useless and costly at the same time. So next time before u dare to call anyone names .. be aware of the facts 1st. We take pride, and now the whole world even acknowledges, that we are the MASTERS in our work n now we are the MASTERS FOR YOUR WORK as well.. U ppl look good outside an EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGE… may the whole US turn up there and claim their unemployment benefits.
Well, tell a lot what their parents thought them, doesn’t it!
sdfsdf
I am a naturalised American, I am going to sue the Radio channel and the parent company for airing such a filth. Kids too listen to radios.
AMERICA AND AMERICANS ARE GREAT:
Star does’nt deserve a place in that great country.
Send him to Osama. Osama has those beads for his hair.
Star n Buc Wild….
Again u proved that americans stand no where. They are big …. …. …. …. the worst slangs existing today also are not enough for them , so u 2 bastards, next time u be on the radio just remember ur mom and dad
Raven U r wrong………Makes no sense
Why get abusive who abuses ? Why spoiling your mouth guys ? You can always protest but not in abusive manner. Abusing again doesn’t make you better than RJ’s. Just protest this to FCC until it takes action on these RJ’s.
This is disgusting act done by those two bastards.But whole america should not be blame for it.In every country you will find such dickheads.
Star n Buc Wild….
ur mom is a bitch and ur dad is a rat eater , u sick people , u know ur dads are pimps and ur moms are pros, u sons of bitch, remember u do one thing like this again and u will get 21 missiles in ur ass
The behavior of the RJ should be condemned in strongest possible manner. Not only the RJ used abusive language against a female, they made derogatory comments against another country (India). Also, the RJ made fun of Steena live on the radio without bothering to inform her that she is being heard by hundreds of people. I believe the RJs should be fired/banned for life and a strong action should be taken against the Radio Station. This will ensure that such offences are not repeated again.
Mind your language guys…….Its getting Starish out here………..:(

AMERICA AND INDIA ARE GREAT NATIONS
OK. First of all. I don’t condone the man’s actions. India and America are both countries where free speech is valued and encouraged.
I don’t see what the outrage is all about.
If you don’t like what he does, don’t listen to his radio channel.
If Steena doesn’t want to run the risk of talking to nasty strangers, she shouldn’t work in a Business Process Outsourcing Office.
If you don’t like someone saying something, you have the right to not purchase their merchandise, not listen to the radio channel they represent, not purchase the goods they endorse.
You do not, however, have the right to pressurise his employer to fire him, nor do you have the right to take away his license to be an RJ.
Don’t like it? Change the American constitution, put barriers to free speech. When it comes to freedom, it’s all or nothing.
Freedom in all forms is a birthright, and though it can be abused, this abuse can be fought by freedom alone, not by repression or coercion.
thanks,
Onkar.
Cool guys, Nothin would happen if u write in this blog, not all are to be blamed except those 2 nuts , the best thing that can be done is to teach them a good lesson, they should be fired from their jobs and fined heavily
It is very disheartening and sick to read about these incidents. I wonder what pleasure can a human being derive of such sadistic and unbearable behavior. I guess some kind of regulation should be done. Why do people crib about outsourcing ? I guess a more pragmatic study should be done as to why the companies are resorting to outsourcing. I guess anyone who is against outsourcing should read Charles Darwin’s Survival of fittest. I guess some idea is got about it.
A request to all other bloggers. Please avoid foul language on Star and Buc. Lets set a precedent atleast. If Star and Buc used pathetic language, lets not resort to giving it back in the same language.
Hope that some action is taken in this regard soon. Feel very sorry for that poor girl !!!
If Onkar doesn’t want to run the risk of getting hit by nasty loo missiles, he shouldn’t relieve in his toilet.
Folks of the Globe,
SORRY. HAD TO DO THIS… CAUSE I AM AN INDIAN IN INDIA WORKING FOR AN INDIAN COMPANY SUPPORTING MILLIONS WORLDWIDE
LET ME TELL YOU ALL YOUR SCREAMS AND THIS NOISE IS THE LAST THING PEOPLE CONCERNED CAN REMEMBER OR GET WORRIED ABOUT,
It is but obvious that a lot of us have our comments here either because we have been offended or are upset due to the comments made.
It could have been a Star or a Buc, but let me tell you that all of us have been looking at the far side of things, may be that Star has used a simulated call, if that is not the case, why has the victim to this post not been able to actually confirm this activity, never the less, there are whole bunch of incidents that lie below covers and there is not one soul out there who has a clue about how people have been affected due to such irrational behaviour or are reacting to those calls. The entire world is so REACTIVE that we dont care a damn if we are actually wasting time reading this entire post. Instead of being REACTIVE can someone ever stop this from happening or turn a blind eye, This world is not moving in the right direction, let alone USA or INDIA or PAKISTAN OR UK or anyone… we have nothing better to do than just complain, what transpired did happen, the show is not off AIR, Outsourcing has not and will not stop, you and I will not stop posting our opinions, LIKE ANYONE CARES.. STOP POSTING AND WASTING YOUR GOOD LORDS TIME, GET BACK TO WORK AND KEEP IT GOOD THERE…
GOD BLESS AND EDUCATE THE PEOPLE WITH “TRUE CONTENT” ABOVE THEIR SHOULDERS…
Fucking “Star and Buc”,
I know only blacks can talk like this foolish. He/she(or mix) should be sent back into african jungles to stay with chimpanzee like yr president “chimpanzee face” Bush.
Onkar, Wht you are telling is as good as “If you are afraid of getting run down, don’t stay in a place where there are roads. Goto moon instead” which is absolutely ridiculous. I guess you need to look at the meaning of freedom more clearly. Freedom of speech or rather freedom doesn’t mean one has the liberty to hurt another human being for some personal interests. No one can’t tell steena that she can’t work in a BPO, just because she can’t put up with this kind of thrash. I guess you don’t have any moral and ethical right to downplay another human being by declaring so. freedom needs to be interpreted in the right way. Just because some dumb people (including you) think they can get away with whatever thrash they are dishing out, no one should go and change anything (read constitution). I guess you should really evolve as a human being.
These high school dropouts don’t understand the concept of outsourcing. They just know (from watching the local news) that it is bad for America.
I was shocked after I heard the tape. Filed a complaint with the FCC. Since there has been enough talk already about Mr. Star, I’ll refrain from that.
However, it is sure heartening to most of the posts here. Reassures faith in the inherent goodness of people.
I think coolbrains encapsulated very well what I would have wanted to say.
Peace and Love
I know alot of Americans who are just plain cool
But then I know alot of Americans that think anything not American is worth insulting.
Those sorts need a serious education and should stop calling themselves Americans.
If that girl in India is trying to feed her family with this call center, at least she does it with more dignity than Star feeds his family
very unfortunate for someone to be broadcasting something like this. I am amazed at how STAR gets around by openly saying that he believes in Hate. I am really concerned that he might put negative thoughts in the minds of this country’s youth. go see the movie ‘american history X’.
above all, if someone did not know, “STAR IS BLACK”! isn’t that ironic that a black guy will turn & spew hate at some one else?!!
No Problems at all. Let us show our tolerance to all this shit thrown by them .
I can assure you all ..with the rate at which Indian’s are educating themselves , taking life seriously and aspiring to do well everywhere they go ….these Type of Americans would be second grade citizens in their own Country in 30 years from now.
(Or is 30 years too long )

I don’t think its a good idea to blame the whole American community for this. I just heard the conversation and its really bad on the part of those guys on the radio to pass on such indecent remarks on someone doing their job.
and its terrible to know that there are some people out there encouraging this kind of activities. Shame on those guys. Learn and grow to live like a decent human being. Everything that goes comes around. You should understand that you are not the only one who can speak filthy language. Every single word you said about that innocent girl is you. Horrible rat eater!!
It is sad and disgusting that such rascist feelings are still being harboured upon by many Americans today. These “super power people” have forgotten one thing…Respect towards fellow humans…I really feel sorry for these Americans..so literate yet ignorant..so advanced but orthodox….
Trisha Mathews
It’s no surprise to me that shock jockee’s or whoever do anything in their reach to attract listeners. However the duo might have gone overboard in what they think is ‘cool’ enraging their listeners. There should be a consequence to such indecent action and I would like to see them making a public appologu and the radio station firing them. Such a behaviour is inexcusable.
This is another reason to stop listening to garbage stations and instead enjoy educational, informative, interesting news, stories, documentaries on the NPR!! Try it for a week and you will never listen to such idiotic stations for the rest of your life.
It is always the converts that are the bigger fundamentalists. I guess this ‘Star’ is a bigger racist than the most racist whites.
Indians have to mobilize and attack before they finish us.We although build the atomic bomb we are still long way to go to make the hydrogen one to do mass extermination.One day we have to do it.
Finally America is starting realise and acknowledge the once who can dispose them from their global leadership. We in India are invading the world. We dont do this by nuclear weapon, we do this by a more powerfull weapon i.e Inteligence and Hard work. We are building our economy by taking every single job available in the world.
Abusing India is a way of showing fear, doing it on the radio in front of your own people is spreading fear. Indians are stronger at heart than most. The girl who answered the call showed how proffesional Indians are. Hail her. Hail India. Jaihind…manoj
I feel sorry that my fellow indian had to go through this kind of crap from a useless, good for nothing DJ and a bunch of hopeless listeners that were laughing in the background. All I can say is regardless of what the outsourcing is not going to stop and we will continue. I just can’t stop laughing :}
Ed here.
Wow, folks, I’m truly overwhelmed by the response here. The only thing I should add here is that nobody resorts to Star’s level. What he did was detestable, but please don’t resort to similar hatred in your responses.
Guys…lets keep this civil.Star and Co are a bunch of idiots and not representative of the the American people.As an Indian I am disgusted how some of us have taken this as an opportunity to insult all Americans.Both America and India are civil societies with freedom of speech.When this freedom is abused, we should not stoop to the same level as these shock jocks.The best thing to do would be to sign petitions and email the station’s advertisers viz. hit them where it hurts the most.And lets learn from this lesson and treat everybody with respect,irrespective of race, nationality, gender etc.
Dear fellow indians,
An act of one angry, irresponsible, idiotic, racist maggot cum RJ shouldnt be compared on par with all americans. Every human condems this diplorable act. The lady who took the call could have easily shot back at him with an equally gross and filty language but she didtn which shows your country peoples patience and magnanimity. Lot of people are sending complaints to FCC and that stupid son of a bitch will be punished.
Regards
Sam
Listen you two white MF’s
Dont you dare to peek at others, look at your own mother and family geting F***, and this happens only in your country, no where else.
Dear fellow indians,
Do not blame the whole American Community for the behaviour of these two Despicable DJ’s.
Work towards removing these guys from their jobs so that they realize that they cannot get away with this kind of objectionable acts.
What else can you expect from a bunch of illiterate, uneducated idiots who cant even run their own country without Indians
Thanks a lot to all Americans who are condemning this . This shows your BIG heart.
You guys are the best. Please accept my personal apologies for some of my compatriots who had posted some stupid things above. This is just their emotional outbursts and we “DO NOT” see the whole community bad.
Who will take the pain of rallying against some idiots who just abused another national and not any of them?
Thank again folks.
Indian
Thank you Ed for taking the lead. You the man!
I totally accept not to reflect hatred message like those idiots. After all, we are here to oppose it and not to join them.
My sincere apologies.

This is absolutely terrible thing…how can they make a joke out of this…i shud say the american of sick sense of humor…they think they r superior but i m afraid they r not…they r just bunch of lazy cocksuckers and as stupid as an ass
Its good to see many Americans raising their voices in support of India. What those two guys have done on the radio is nothing but hatred. These guys are incompetent. They cant do anything better than talking nonsense on the radio with their two meter mouth.
For those (Indians) who have spoken ill about USA, please refrain from doing so in future. The Americans are matured and they treat us well.
The American justice will surely curb these kind of behaviour.
No, I am not shocked by this incident - it only strengthens my conviction that the western world is among the most uncivilised societies in the world, which is why they have to go to such pains to prove themselves as civilised.
This absolutely reflects on the US as a whole, their society, value system, lack of the family system and the resulting rot in every generation. I am glad that the Indian lady was absolutely professional and courteous, like only civilised people can be.
As for the Americans, they are digging their own grave and paving their own way to hell like only primitive, moral-lacking people like them can. So much for their self-righteousness about Asia.
I would like to request my fellow Indians not to paint the all the Americans in the image of these two despicable and idiotic RJ’s. Most Americans are polite and friendly to foreigners and immigrants from other nations.
The Best way to deal with this is to make a complaint to FCC and make sure that there is a consequence to this kind of behaviour on radio, such as a huge fine and boycott of their advertisers.
Gandu saale chutiye …. apun ke desh ke ladki log kuchh bolne ka nahi….
Dear Friends in India,
Am also an Indian writing on this.
Lets not forget our heritage and culture and use abusive language in this site. Pls go thru this site and air your protests thru the website and the e-mail address provided with NBC, Cingular and Verizon.
If we also use that kind of language, there is no difference between that Star and us.
The act done by Star is 100% condemnable and I feel pity for his language. He had shown his culture and his family backgrounds.
Thanks
Just to let the readers know that the RJs have grey cells most closely resembling the gorillas. Isn’t it a fact since they prematurely evolved from the land of the monkeys.
What else do you expect out of someone who is helpless and cornered.
We all need to realize that people like this are parasites, cancer, aberration to the civilized society.
Feel sorry for their lives and may their souls be in peace and hopefully they would have vented out all the poison.
This sound a bit too much. They should have a check of this kind of show offs.
star and buc u guys are such a dickshits and deserve a hell of a whiplast on your saggy asses.. how can u guys be so rude when someone who is thousands of miles away from this part of the world is trying to help u and u fuckin’ trying to show that u are a bitch-ass son-of-a-dick…..
Ed,
Thanks for posting this piece. Like some other fellow-Indians pointed out before, the over-reaction and hatred expressed in some of the postings here do not reflect the view of the India community as a whole. That’s not to say that the community is not outraged by this behavior by public personalities … but there is obviously a more civilized and effective method in bringing these 2 to task, than sink to their levels!
The information provided here is really good and per the suggestions here, I would “snail-mail” my rebuttal, as opposed to e-mailing it and risk my protest being lost in cyber space
IMHO – The unwritten code of conduct that artists ought to adhere to in public broadcasting, should be uniform for people of all races. Minorities feel they could get away with making racial slurs, just because they are minorities and so-called “oppressed folks”. It’s ironic but there are many who have made careers out of this with limited talent!
I think there ought to be something in place that does not let ANYONE get away with any racial slur - be it black, brown, yellow or white!
Peace.
those guys here thinking that americans are cool and not all americans are like this, have not lived in america. Deep inside, they sport nothing but hatered and contempt for other countries, and most care only about women of other countries they can f*ck - so those uppity indians who think that americans are good etc - you will learn when you get the chance. Star and bucwild are black, which is pretty bad, since they still have not learned after 300 years of abuse from the whitey. Maybe whiteys are right about blacks..
hey its such a wicked thing at last i saw these americans jst using their filthy dirt coming out ‘f their mouth n not atleast killin more humans ..Am really thankful tat he(star) dint got his Gun or a inncocent gal wud av died sumwhere in INDIA n Mr. Bush wud hav send few dollaars to show his lov 4 humanity, I REALLLY appreciate tat frustrated souls jst show their real self through their way of speech n we get 2 know wat tat star)SHYTE is worth ….
If work for GE in India.. Next time an Black American Calls. I will call him/her a NEGRO

It’s a proven fact that civilizations (just like the stock markets) has it’s ups and downs. When einstein, newton, edison and such great people were there it was “civilization growth” for the west. Now that we have pigs and asses like these, in the name of stars and bfucks (what shitty name is that) that western world is in “civilization recession”. It’s the cycle of nature and is normal. God save the other innocent people who goes down with them.
