WBT‘s sister station in the Greater Media empire, WTKK in Boston, suspended long-time talk radio host Jay Severin for on-air comments he made about Mexicans.

The Boston Globe reports that Severin referred to Mexicans as “criminaliens,” “primitives,” and “leeches.” More:

In one of his broadcasts this week, Severin said: “So now, in addition to venereal disease and the other leading exports of Mexico — women with mustaches and VD — now we have swine flu.”

Later, he described Mexicans as “the world’s lowest of primitives.”

“When we are the magnet for primitives around the world — and it’s not the primitives’ fault by the way, I’m not blaming them for being primitives — I’m merely observing they’re primitive,” he said.

He added that Mexicans are destroying schools and hospitals in the United States. He also criticized their hygiene.

“It’s millions of leeches from a primitive country come here to leech off you and, with it, they are ruining the schools, the hospitals, and a lot of life in America,” he said.

Man, these primitives are pretty powerful. I figure if America survived the Irish, we are pretty well inoculated against social and cultural decay from external sources.
