I will let my letter to the station speak for itself.

On Saturday September 6th in the mid afternoon, I heard the DJ (not sure who) talking about a racist in the USA who had a black baby doll hanging from a cross in front of his house.
He went on to talk about how this person was fighting in court to be able to continue to display this.
All this was fine and I agree with the DJ that the hanging doll was clearly a racist and disgusting display.
What I found very distasteful and upsetting was his remarks that this racist American was a frontrunner for the Republican vice presidential nomination but wasn’t good looking enough.
I know it was a joke, and the comments about him not being good looking enough may be considered male chauvinistic and I would not be writing if that was the joke. But it wasn’t. His comment about Republicans (and subtly by extension conservative minded people) as being racist or as considering a racist to be in a top position in their political hierarchy was extremely offensive.
I think this DJ owes all conservative minded people an apology.
