Re: KTVU Asiana Airlines Gaffe

I'm still shocked no one at the station read the names and said, 'Hey, wait a minute. These names don't look or sound Korean.'

Because this is the Bay Area. It's not simply ethnically diverse; there's a diversity of Asians here.

So this journalistic entity,

an institution that has spent so much time in our neighborhoods,

still doesn't know some of the differences between Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, Thai, and whoever else I missed?


Shameful.
