Boston radio producer suspended for using ethnic slur about ESPN's Mina Kimes

Boston sports radio producer Chris Curtis has been suspended and apologized for using an ethnic slur about ESPN personality Mina Kimes during a discussion about small bottles of alcohol. Curtis claimed he meant to say actress Mila Kunis's name instead of Kimes. Kimes, who is half-Korean, not Japanese, responded with a meme and changed her Twitter profile photo to Kunis. This comes just a month after another Boston sports radio personality was suspended for making a racist joke about Black Americans.
