Telemundo suspends hosts who made racist gestures on live TV
Source: Yahoo News
A pair of Telemundo hosts on the morning show Un Nuevo Dia have been suspended by the network after making racist gestures following South Koreas 2-0 win over Germany that helped Mexico advance to the Round of 16 in the World Cup on Wednesday.
James Tahhan, better known as Chef James, and Janice Bencosme made racist and inappropriate slant-eyed gestures while laughing during the live Telemundo morning show. The rest of the panel, who were all sporting Mexico team gear, were laughing.

We are extremely disappointed with our morning show contributors James Tahhans and Janice Bencosmes gestures referring to the South Korean national soccer team, Telemundo said in a statement. Our company takes this type of inappropriate behavior very seriously as it is contrary to our values and standards.
As a result, both James Tahhan and Janice Bencosme have been placed on an indefinite suspension.

I'm surprised a person who belongs to a race of people that white trash racists like Trump mock at every opportunity, would not realize the idiocy of making fun of other races. What morons.

They should've been praising South Korea.
