robmoore@clearchannel.com (he is the one responsible for the show)
call him and them him you are angry for the ignorant of his radio studio, ask him to publish out a formal apology and put in place a policy to stop such show: call 952-417-3000, ask to speak to Mr. Rob Moore.

I've been informed that this sorry-ass excuse for radio programming recently aired on KDWB 101.3 in Minneapolis. It's basically a straight up racist song making fun of Hmong people (there is a significant concentration of the Hmong population in the Twin Cities), to the tune of Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven." It's pretty astounding. You have to listen for yourself:
I almost find it difficult to believe something this awful actually made it on the air... but then I remember that this is a morning radio show, and they pull dumb, derogatory shit like this all the time, just for the sake of stirring things up. Someone heard it and uploaded the audio to YouTube, and the emails have started trickling in.
In case you missed it, here are the lyrics:
No room for a couch
'Cause we sleep on the floor
One big group of Vangs
Hmong family of twenty-four
Kids work in St. Paul
Hang out at the mall
'Cause I know they dwell so well
Thirty Hmongs in a house
Hmongs get pregnant early
First baby at 16
Seven kids by 23
Over the hill by 30
Like sardines they live
Packed in a two-room house with the kids
But you know they age quite well
They be Hmongs.
They guy performing the song is apparently some **** named Steve-O. An mp3 of the original audio (it says it was originally posted on March 22) can be found on the Dave Ryan Show online archive here.
