STOMPer Kungfu Warrior was incensed when he saw a report of this incident, which shows how racist the American media is in readily typecasting Asians.  The STOMPer shared: "And it was all because the Yanks misunderstood Chinese-accented English. "The report in the New York City's City Pages website said that the investigative team of the station, WCCO, broke an reported that a Chinatown meat market in NYC was buying dogs from Minnesota and selling them as food in the Big Apple. "The report said: "It was the kind of story reporters dream about -- an investigation that could bring down a business, stop a terrible practice, and get everyone involved sent to jail. "There's only one problem. It wasn't exactly true. Actually, it wasn't true at all. And, worse, it was based on the reporter's inability to understand an employee's accent. "Oops. Now, WCCO has completely scrubbed the story. What story? That dog thing? Oh, yeah. Uhm, early April Fool's? "Since the news of WCCO's colossal mistake broke in the New York Post, the CBS affiliate has disappeared any remnants of the story from its website. Neither the story or a follow-up post still exist, and the video story has also vanished without a trace. "Fortunately, a New York blogger captured some of WCCO reporter James Schugel's (in the photo) enterprising work, as WCCO wrote it up on its website: "The I-TEAM went undercover in New York City to see the Canine Culture Center, but found a meat market at the same address. "And as the I-TEAM found, a worker there says he only sells dogs to eat. Yes, he almost said that. But in fact, the worker said they only sell "duck." Apparently, through his accent, WCCO heard him say "dog," and did the most reasonable thing: Threw the story right on the air!  "As the Post reports, New York state inspectors raided the Dak Cheong Meat Market and didn't find one bit of proof that they were selling dog meat. Chao Fang, an employee at the market, talked to the Post, which somehow correctly understood what he said and quoted him accurately."
