“Reporter Emily Austen has been taken off the air by Fox Sports after she was caught on video making racist comments about Mexican, Jewish and Chinese people.
While participating in a Facebook video broadcast for Barstool Sports, the 27-year-old sports reporter and others appearing on the show mocked 18-year-old Mayte Lara Ibarra, who recently revealed that she was her high school’s valedictorian and an undocumented immigrant.
“I didn’t even know Mexicans were that smart,” Austen quipped to her co-hosts during the Barstool Sports broadcast.
She also asserted that “the Chinese guy is always the smartest guy in math class” and that Jewish people are “stingy.”
As a result of the tirade, Fox Sports said that Austen, who is a contract employee, would not be participating in future broadcasts.”

She's still an illegal immigrant. That scholarship could have went to an American citizen. No I don't support Trump. I'm stating a fact.
-
The fired reporter was obviously one of "those" girls in high school.
-
Boy is she gonna be upset to find out im black over 6ft. ..and can't play basketball to save my life
-
There are intelligent people all over the world you're just not one of them.
-
I don't mean to be racist, but let me say something racist.
-
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence.
-
I love how she destroyed her own career in 5 minutes 😂
-
This is how comfortable they are talking about other ethnic groups.
-
I break the "all Asians are super smart" stereotype everyday without even trying.
-
“I didn’t know Mexicans were smart”. The basis of bigotry is ignorance. She is fully qualified.
-
Clearly she thought whoever was recording her was her friend. Kudos to them for proving emphatically that they aren’t!! 😂😂
-
I love how even her friends realized "wwwwwwtttffff are you saying". And as a result she just kept adding more stereotypes. 🤦♂️
-
I thought racism was a Fox News job requirement
-
She got fired for the "Jew" joke, not disparaging the Latina valedictorian.
-
I was waiting for her to say, “I have brown, black, Asian & Jewish friends!”
-
A large majority of people, mexican, jewish, chinese, black, white, etc, are probably smarter than she is. And she's missing out on a lot of fascinating cultures. Too bad for her and her chums.
-
I bet she was only fired because of the jewish remark. Guarantee if it was just the other comments she wouldn't have been fired
-
Whenever I hear white people say I don't care if your "white,black, or purple" is friggin annoying
-
What is it with US Americans, thinking that there are, within the human-race, sub-races. We all are humans, only demographic/cultural differences.
-
When the guy sitting to her left said “wow”, that was her cue to stfu, but she was so oblivious.
