TL;DR Summary

Boston sports radio host Chris Curtis has been suspended without pay after making an ethnic slur on-air directed at ESPN personality Mina Kimes, who is of Korean descent. Curtis apologized and said he meant to say actress Mila Kunis instead, who is not of Japanese descent. ESPN denounced the comments as "extremely offensive." This comes after another Boston sports radio host was suspended last month for making a racist joke about Black Americans. Kimes has become one of ESPN's most recognizable analysts and has faced harassment and threats on social media.
