“One day after members of the morning show on Raleigh radio station WDCG made derogatory remarks about American Indians, the “Bob and the Showgram” crew took aim at Hispanics and the area’s Mexican consulate.

For a segment on the April 2 “Showgram” program, crew member John Clark wore a T-shirt with “INS” taped to it while approaching people in line at the consulate on Six Forks Road in Raleigh. Bob Dumas, the principal host of the highly rated show, insulted some Spanish-speaking citizens when he said: “It made me a little mad when I saw the giant Mexican flag” outside the consulate.”*
