Asian Americans upset with ESPN

Yes, that ESPN screenshot really does list Nagiru Hiramatsu's favorite singer as "Wandai Wrection."

Seen a bunch of posts to the tune of "See how racist America is!!" and "stop picking on the little Asian kids!" while the kid probably wrote this ENGRISH himself and whoever reviewed it simply didn't catch it. :roll: Oversensitive much??

Did ESPN officially confirm that spelling with the duty intern at the NTSB?

"...the boys all had to fill out an ESPN questionnaire before they even arrived in San Bernardino as part of the packet of forms. So it is quite possible that the boy wrote out the name of the band that way."
