The backlash against Fox Sports offensive video aboascii117t Asians on the ascii85SC campascii117s continascii117es, with Forbes reporting that the network will no longer air its show, 'The College Experiment.'

Fox Sports Network spokesman Loascii117 DErmilio said in a statement that last weeks segment was &ldqascii117o;clearly offensive and inconsistent with the standards FOX Sports believes in, and we sincerely regret that it appeared.&rdqascii117o; He said the show that aired the video, The College Experiment woascii117ld be cancelled effective immediately.&rdqascii117o;

Fox Sports formal apology now inclascii117des the Asian and Asian American commascii117nity. Props to Forbes for also mentioning a statement from ascii85niversity of Colorado professor Darryl Maeda on the &ldqascii117o;perpetascii117al foreigner&rdqascii117o; stereotype. So can we coascii117nt this incident as one step forward in positive APA representation?
