"You probably remember KTVU’s royal eff up with reading obviously fake Asian names for the pilots of the Asiana crash. Names like “Wi To Lo” and “Ho Lee Fuk”.

It looks like a Korean news agency is having some fun at KTVU’s expense. After the landing gear failure of the Southwest flight at LGA they showed this graphic with American pilot names “Captain Kent Parker Wright”, “Co-Captain Wyatt Wooden Workman”.

They even went as far as making up fake names for people to interview. Flight instructor “Heywood U. Flye-Moore” and skeptical passenger “Macy Lawyers”.

Well played Korean TV, well played."

Still not as funny as the Korean names.

You should have got the NTSB summer intern to develop the name list.

I guess it might not be considered "raycyst" when making fun of American citizen’s names vs. Oriental names? Or…it isn’t racist when aimed at SWA crews?

You are right Jungle, where is the outrage?
