Tomorrow, expect the Chinese Canadian National Council to come out with a
blazing condemnation of late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel.
The group that represents many Chinese Canadians has already written to
Citytv and its parent, Rogers Media, and complained to the Canadian
Broadcast Standards Council about Kimmel's controversial remarks on October
16.
Kimmel stated on the show that killing everyone in China was "an interesting
idea". Later, he said: "Should we allow the Chinese to live?"
It came during a skit with children about the amount of U.S. debt held by
foreigners.
"The promotion or even the suggestion of genocide cannot be excused even in
a satirical late-night show," CCNC executive director Victor Wong said in a
media advisory issued today.
His group will hold a news conference in Toronto tomorrow morning at 8:30
Pacific time.
We'll see if Wong mentions that Rogers, which broadcast the Kimmel show,
also owns Macleans magazine. In 2010, Macleans got into hot water a while
ago for a headline suggesting that UBC was "too Asian".
Of course, the CCNC could simply request that everyone in Canada change
their cellphone plans from Rogers to Telus. That might get the attention of
the Citytv bosses. | c**s 发帖数: 3796 | | c****a 发帖数: 451 | | X*******6 发帖数: 306 | 4 我们加拿大籍华人同胞要出声了,真希望我在那里,我也会加入他们一起行动. | w*****3 发帖数: 2301 | 5 I have participated in Dallas rally twice! |
