Boston Radio Producer Accused of Using Ethnic Slur Against ESPN's Mina Kimes
TL;DR
Chris Curtis, a producer for WEEI, is facing backlash for making a racist and sexist comment about ESPN's NFL analyst Mina Kimes during a radio show. Curtis referred to Kimes as his favorite "nip," a slur for people of Japanese descent. Kimes, who is of Korean descent, responded by changing her Twitter avatar to that of Mila Kunis. The incident has sparked controversy and criticism, with ESPN stating that there is no place for such hateful comments. This comes just a month after another sports radio personality was suspended for making a racist joke.
