Hispanic protest fails to silence ‘Jersey Guys’

“Weeks after 101.5 FMs “Jersey Guys” were assailed for launching a campaign that many Hispanics considered bigoted against them, little has happened.

The lack of outcry, Hispanics say, is particularly stark when compared with the high-profile protests that led to the firing of radio icon Don Imus this week.

Assemblyman Wilfredo Caraballo, who led the protest, said the public rebuke has fallen far short of what he sought, and the hosts refuse to apologize and stop the campaign.”
