The backlash against Fox Sports’ offensive video about Asians on the USC campus continues, with Forbes reporting that the network will no longer air its show, The College Experiment: “Fox Sports Network spokesman Lou D’Ermilio said in a statement that last week’s segment was “clearly offensive and inconsistent with the standards FOX Sports believes in, and we sincerely regret that it appeared.” He said the show that aired the video, The College Experiment would be cancelled effective immediately.” Fox Sports’ formal apology now includes the Asian and Asian American community. Props to Forbes for also mentioning a statement from University of Colorado professor Darryl Maeda on the “perpetual foreigner” stereotype. So can we count this incident as one step forward in positive APA representation?
