Pbs says anti polish slur cut from andre rieus concerts kat 20

Rieu is the PBS superstar whose performances are usually taped and later aired by the network as a fundraiser. His crude attempt at low class anti-Polish humor appears to have been out of step with the high class image usually projected by PBS.

“A lot of us were angry and disappointed because of Rieu’s nasty antics. He took a cheap shot at us and lost a lot of friends,” said Frank Milewski who heads the Anti-Bigotry Committee.
