US RJs abuse Indian girl, air tape on radioYet another instance of backlash against outsourcing to India has been reported. And this time its laced with hate, sexcism and racism.
American radio jockeys Star and Buc Wild — apparently big names in their field — in an attempt to be 'funny' broadcast an abusive call that was placed to an Indian call-centre worker.
The 'call' was aired in their morning show on Philadelphia's Power 99 FM radio.
In the tape that was played, the caller starts with placing an order for mail order beads, questions the executive if the call has been outsourced to India and then proceeds to abuse her.

A: I made an Indian woman cry and promise to quit her job in 60 seconds. You can do it too!"
MUMBAI: This is only a random (and printable) selection from the thousands of messages in cyberspace calling for a campaign to harass Indian call centre operators, to put an end to the offshoring of jobs.
The same person goes on to describe some more of his experiences while calling these call centres, an activity to which he promises to devote "one hour every day".

I think this is sick shit. I'm from India and I have many friends working in call centers. Till Sept last year I was working in one too. I don't see how harrassing call center workers is going to help stop outsourcing. I think this is a moran driven enterprise, and would appeal to the same small minds that voted Bush in. You know, the kind of people who love to pick a fight with individual beneficiaries of fucked up CEO policies rather than take on the CEOs themselves. Real sick. Especially these Deejays.
If I'm right, a majority of DUers wouldn't go for something like this. Right?
