Lex Gaarthuis last week aired the satirical song called “Prevention is better than Chinese” – using a play on the words for “Chinese” and “cure“, which sound similar in Dutch.
“Why are there people like Radio 10 who dare to connect a serious virus with people of Chinese origin and those who eat Chinese food?” asked the petition’s initiators. “Enough is enough. We’re confronted daily with so-called ‘jokes’ and statements that are not acceptable,” the organisers said, adding “we are normal people.”
Gaarthuis, who originally apologised on Saturday, admitted he had made “a big mistake” on his programme “Laat met Lex” on Monday.
