While this defamed Koreans in particular and orientals in general, lawsuits should not be the way to correct it. Also, flying one of the best airliners in the world into the ground has much more to do with damaging the reputation of an airline than silly made-up names.

Now maybe some enterprising attorney can sue the NTSB for back wages for the fired intern.

Will the radio newsroom have to take remedial training on recognizing the difference between fake Cantonese names and fake Korean names?
