Randy Miller, a KSDO-FM in San Diego disc jockey who asked listeners to call him with jokes about the Chinese, is being called racist by some listeners. Miller touched off the controversy last week by requesting the jokes in response to a dispute between a leader of the Union of Pan Asian Communities and a local TV host. The next day, Miller offered a tongue-in-cheek apology on the air. C.A. (Andy) Thompson, chairman of the county’s Human Relations Commission, said Miller’s statements could lead to violence against members’ of the city’s Chinese-Americans. Station manager Chris Conway doesn’t believe an apology is necessary. Miller “picks on me, he picks on Hispanics, he picks on everybody,” Conway said. “If they don’t like it, they don’t have to listen.”
