1Des Daily News: Rapper Heems Exposes Racist Fox Programming - Duration: 2:47.
Hey what's up Desis, this is your host Varun Kumar with today's 1Des Daily News.
Desi-American rapper Heems, aka Himanshu Suri of Das Racist and Swetshop Boys fame, posted
a video from the Fox TV show "Whacked Out Sports" on his instagram, and I can't
tell whether it's cringey, racist, unfunny, or all of the above.
In the clip from a segment depicting the Sikh festival Holla Mohalla, which is a deeply
sacred event that depicts the martial history of the Sikhs, but from a spiritual perspective,
the show "Whacked Out Sports" focuses on a saint/soldier, or Nihang as they are
called, who showcases heroic feats from the ancient martial art of the Sikhs: Gatka.
In the segment, whacked out sports' narrator, Tom Gottlieb, makes disparaging comments about
the Sikh religion and proceeds to embark on a mock-translation of the Nihang's Punjabi
interview in standard brownface pseudo accent.
The clip speaks for itself.
"But the star of the show has to be Jagdish Namshir, but you can call him 'The Turban
Cowboy.'
Yo, yo, yo.
Where my bitches at?
It's the Turban Cowboy.
Two horse power of love muscle.
One night with me and it's, 'Thank you, see you real soon.'"
Heems posted this clip on his Instagram with the caption: "racism still alive they just
b concealin it."
The posts' comments were filled with many people being in shock and disgust that an
internationally syndicated program owned by the 21st Century Fox media company can be
so racist.
This is not surprising, however, when you realize that 21st Century Fox, owned by Australian
billionaire Rupert Murdoch, is the same company behind Fox News and the character Apu from
the Simpsons.
What is surprising though, is that the Murdoch family also controls one of the largest Desi
cable networks in the world: the Star Channel.
I wonder how the over 1 billion Desis who tune into Star everyday for Hindi language
programming would feel about this segment from the Star Network's American parent
company.
Media misrepresentations like this almost always happen in creative settings where not
a single female, homosexual, person of color, or any other minority is present in the making
of it.
Desis, do you think we as a community can't put all the blame on these media companies
alone?
After all if we don't fight to put our own stories out then why should we mad when others
do brown face and put out racist garbage like whacked out sports?
