A public protest letter to ABC
-- originally by iminusc (布衣王二)
We are US residents originally from China. We are hard workers, parents and
friends, contributing to this country like all other groups. Today we get
together to express our outrages, worries and disappointment brought by the
Kids Table Show - Government shut down from Jimmy Kimmel Live, broadcasted
by ABC. In the show, one kid, when being asked how to avoid paying Chinese
debts, answered “kill everyone in China”, and EVERYONE including the host
laughed. The host even commented that "This is an interesting idea!" Later
on in the show, the host brought up this subject again and specifically
asked "should we allow Chinese to live". And the show ended in laughter.
We request ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel and issue a formal apology to ALL of its
viewers, because this show promoted hatred, racism and violence, and
particularly, delivered toxic messages to our next generation. It is not a
joke. Joking with genocide in a public show is unacceptable; joking with
genocide of a particular race in a public show is zero-tolerable. It passed
the bottom line in a civilized society. Similar “joke” on Jews was laughed
off in 1930s in Germany, and we all know what happened later.
We were especially angry because this show used naïve kids to spread
thoughts that those adults dared not speak by themselves. This show,
particularly using Chinese as the target, insulted and threatened all
Chinese. Even more, it delivered messages to kids that 1) you can solve your
own problem by killing other people; 2) you have the right to allow other
people to live or not. These messages, unfortunately, have already been
absorbed by our kids. We saw too many school shootings. If such
irresponsible behaviors of the media cannot be stopped, we will have another
Sandy Hook school tragedy soon.
Chinese communities are organizing other protests and activities including
boycotting Disney until our requests are appropriately answered. Today we
stand here to speak out not only for ourselves, but also for all children,
and for a better society that Mr. Martin Luther King had dreamed. Thank you
for your attention. |
