What a Journey
Chunyan Li, Ph.D.
11/8/2013
Dear all,
How long does it take us to get here today? One hour? Two hours? For me, it
is 20 years! 20 years ago I arrived at this land of the free, full of ideals
, perhaps from listening too much to radio Voice of America. 20 years later
my sons join me to protest against ABC's spreading of racial hatred and
violence. What is wrong with this picture?
I ask my teenage son whether we should just treat "killing Chinese" as a
joke. He said this demonstrates what the society and media had been feeding
our young kids. My heart sank. Is America moving forward or backward?
Now I ask again: How long does it take us to get here?
I don't know about you, but the last 20 days seem longer than my 20 years.
Those of us who stand here today must have been reading, writing, arguing,
and agonizing over confusing pieces of reports and commentaries. And we ask
ourselves, are we being unreasonable? Is our English that bad that we don't
know what an apology is?
On 10/28, the night of our first protest, Mr. Kimmel said, "today is a weird
day...I am sorry if I offended anyone." I ask ABC, who is the weird one?
Who truly apologizes if he doesn't even say sorry for what? Sorry to whom?
To the Chinese whose sense of tranquility is forever disturbed? To our kids
whom we try so hard to shield from pain and harm? To the schools that teach
kids the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King? ABC, do you call that an apology
?
In a letter to 80-20, ABC still claims it only entertains. Why is joking
about killing Chinese so entertaining? Is it because we are always so nice?
My friend's sweet 11-year old wants to write on his poster, "do not take
advantage of us." I first didn't understand, then found out he meant "don't
take advantage of us because we are nice." That broke my heart!!! ABC and Mr
. Kimmel, we hold you accountable for taking away our children's precious
sense of security. And we hold you accountable for sowing the seeds of
hatred in other children's minds.
On 10/29, Mr. Kimmel even resorted to the ridiculous notion of cultural
difference. I ask him, what cultural difference do you mean? A culture of
hard work, respect, harmony versus a culture of violence and racial hatred?
Then I admit there is an unbridgeable difference between Kimmel and us. We
know what's right, what's wrong. And we know what humor is too! Yet we have
no tolerance of your malicious joke, subsequent insult on air, then the
absurd reference to culture. This only proves Mr. Kimmel you are unfit to be
a public figure.
ABC, stop blaming cultural differences for your own mistakes! Except for
Native Americans, all are immigrants with unique traits. Yet we share the
basic value of human dignity. Stop magnifying the differences in skin colors
, or accents!
I ask a third time, how long does it take us to get here? Our friends
started telling us there is another written apology somewhere. Who in real
life is given so many third chances? Yet I ponder, are we asking too much? I
discovered to my dismay that in that written letter, Mr. Kimmel is still
hiding behind the 6-year old. Come on Mr. Kimmel, you think our anger is on
a 6-year old? Our anger is on your malicious question "Should we allow the
Chinese to live?" Our anger is on your subsequent arrogant ridicule. Our
rage is on ABC for not letting the public know the truth of these so called
apologies.
America is the home of the brave. ABC, show our kids you have the courage of
admitting wrong doing, show our kids you have the guts to take
responsibility by dismissing Mr. Kimmel. Show us you have the resolve to
institute procedures to prevent future incidences. ABC, do NOT hide behind a
6-year old! Show us what a major network can do to right its wrong!
Twenty years, twenty days. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Who
doesn't want to be happy? But without life, what is liberty? Without liberty,
what is happiness? Let's join hands in our pursuit of human dignity.
Teach kids to love, not to kill! | l*****g 发帖数: 2087 | 2 确实好。

"Our anger is on your malicious question "Should we allow the

加一小句会不会更好?

春燕Li博士
2013年11月8日
亲爱的,
多久我们今天来到这里呢?一小时?两个小时?对于我来说,
是20年! 20年前,我来到这片土地上的自由,充满理想
听太多,也许电台美国之音。 20年后
我的儿子和我一起抗议ABC的传播种族仇恨和
暴力事件。这幅画有什么错?
我问我十几岁的儿子,我们是否应该只把“杀死中国人”作为
笑话。他说,这说明了社会和媒体已喂养
我们年轻的孩子。我的心一沉。美国是前进还是倒退?
现在我再问:带我们到这里多久?
我不知道你,但过去20天似乎比我20年更长。
我们今天站在这里,必须已阅读,写作,争论,
并折腾在报道和评论的混乱件。我们要求
我们自己,我们是不合理的吗?是我们的英语说不好,我们没有
我知道道歉是什么?
在10/28 ,我们的第一个抗议的晚上,柯先生说, “今天是一个奇怪的
一天......我很抱歉,如果我冒犯了任何人。 “我问ABC ,谁是奇怪的?
谁真正的道歉,如果他甚至不说对不起什么?很抱歉给谁呢?
中国永远不安的宁静感?为了我们的孩子
屏蔽从痛苦和伤害,我们如此努力的人吗?学校教
孩子马丁·路德·金的精神? ABC ,你叫道歉
?
在信80-20 ,农行仍声称,它不仅招待。为什么是在开玩笑
杀害中国如此有趣?是因为我们总是这么好?
我的朋友的甜蜜11岁想要写上他的海报, “不走
我们的优势。 “我第一次听不懂,后来发现他的意思是”不
利用我们的优势,因为我们是很好的。 “这打破了我的心! ABC和先生!
。金梅尔,我们要向你拿走了我们的孩子的珍贵
安全感。我们要向你播下种子
在其他孩子的心中的仇恨。
柯先生于10/29 ,甚至使出荒谬的文化概念
差别。我问他,你的意思是什么文化差异?文化
努力工作,尊重,和谐与暴力和种族仇恨的文化?
然后,我承认,金梅尔和我们之间有一个不可逾越的差异。我们
知道什么是正确的,什么是错的。我们知道幽默是太!然而,我们有
你不怀好意的玩笑,不容忍随后空气侮辱,那么
文化荒谬参考。这只能证明你是柯先生不适宜
一个公众人物。
ABC ,停止为自己的错误归结到文化差异!以外
土著美国人,都具有独特性状的移民。然而,我们共享
人的尊严的基本价值。停止放大镜肤色的差异
或口音!
我问第三次,多久没有带我们到这里?我们的朋友
开始告诉我们还有另外一个书面道歉的地方。谁在真正的
生活给予这么多的第三次机会吗?然而,我思考,我们要求太多?我
发现令我非常沮丧,在写的信,仍是柯先生
躲在后面的6岁。柯先生来吧,你以为我们的愤怒
一个6岁的?我们的愤怒是恶意的问题, “如果我们允许
中国的生活吗? “我们的愤怒是后续傲慢的嘲笑。
愤怒是没有让公众知道事情的真相,这些所谓的ABC
歉意。
美国是勇敢者的家。 ABC ,显示我们的孩子,你有这样的勇气
承认错误的行为,显示我们的孩子,你有胆量拿
责任解雇柯先生。我们决心
研究所程序,以防止未来发生率。 ABC ,不要躲在后面
6岁!告诉我们一个主要的网络可以做什么到右的错误!
二十多年来,二十天。生命权,自由权和追求幸福的。谁
不想要幸福吗?但是,如果没有生活,什么是自由?如果没有自由,
什么是幸福?让我们携起手来在我们追求人的尊严。
