ESPN’s Mina Kimes had the perfect response to WEEI producer’s awful excuse for using a racial slur

ESPN’s Mina Kimes is one of the brightest minds covering football. She’s also a great follow on Twitter thanks to her funny takes and witty responses.

Not everyone is as smart as Kimes though, as WEEI (Boston) radio producer Chris Curtis demonstrated Wednesday during a taping of the The Greg Hill Show.

While the crew was discussing different types of mini-liquor bottles, also known as “nips,” Curtis blurted out “Mina Kimes.” Nip is an ethnic slur against people of Japanese descent. In an apology, Curtis said he meant to say “Mila Kunis,” which still would’ve been sexist if you believe him.

Either way, Kimes, who’s actually of Korean descent, had the perfect response to his idiocy, changing her Twitter profile picture to none other than Mila Kunis.

In a statement to USA TODAY, ESPN called the comments “uncalled for and extremely offensive.”

Curtis should probably count his blessings that he wasn’t fired and talk a little less when he returns.
