Petition Against Racist Headline!!!!!!

I was recently reading the local papers in Papua New Guinea and I found this disturbing and racist headline.

Paki charged with misusing K87,000
By MATROM JOHN
ACCOUNTANT and prominent businessman Rex Paki was yesterday charged by police for alleged misappropriation of more than K87,000 belonging to the National Provident Fund, now known as NASFUND.
Mr Paki was questioned, taken to Boroko Police Station and charged under the Criminal Code for one count of misappropriating K87,397.30 in 1999.
He was accompanied by his lawyer when charged, and was released on K500 bail. He will appear in court this morning for mention.
Deputy Police Commissioner Gari Baki said Mr Paki’s arrest is part of the ongoing police investigations into allegations of misappropriation against certain people which stemmed from the NFP Commission of Inquiry in 2000.
Several people implicated in the inquiry were arrested and charged last year, and Mr Baki said Mr Paki was the first person they’ve had to deal with this year.
Mr Baki said the allegation against Mr Paki is that he had K87,397.30 in a trust account under the name Kerowa Tiki controlled by law firm Carter Newell paid into Rams Business Consultants, a business he owns on Aug 4, 1999.

Won't you help by signing my comments section and protesting loudly and clearly to let The National know that their references to us wogs as pakis is unacceptable!!

The part I'm most offended by (not to mention your wacky sense of humour) is the six exclamation marks. Is that an edit?
