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.]
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.

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….

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
