LA Radio: iHM KFI's Bill Handel Under Fire For Anti-Asian Comments

 
A coalition of Asian American advocates are calling for the suspension of KFI's Bill Handel. The radio show host has repeatedly made remarks about "dog-eating Asians." 

This isn't the first time Handel has gotten in trouble for anti-Asian comments.

"You just can't have Korean people do it, that's all…" Handel says. 

He was talking about people adopting shelter dogs, suggesting Koreans should not be allowed to adopt because they would eat them.

"It's a thing, it's a thing!" he says. 

The Media Action Network for Asian Americans says Handel made the offensive remarks between May and October of this year.



This isn't the first time Handel found himself in trouble with MANAA. He had to apologize and was suspended after comments about figure skaters Kristi Yamaguchi and Michelle Kwan.
