请要去的朋友看看。这是我们打印出来要在 protest时发给路人的。请大家了解我们抗
议的目的，准备万一有记者采访。
Today we stand here to protest against not only the Jimmy Kimmel Kids Table
Show on
October 16, 2013, but also ABC’s lack of a sincere, public apology for
Jimmy Kimmel’s
misguided decision. During the show, a six-year-old boy proposed the idea of
solving
America's debt crisis by "killing everyone in China." Mr. Kimmel responded,
"That's an
interesting idea.” He then asked the kids, “Should we allow the Chinese to
live?" By not editing
this taped segment, you should hold yourselves accountable for teaching our
children that
killing others is an acceptable practice.
Although ABC has since pulled the episode off of the air and communicated
with several
Asian-American organizations, we have not seen a public statement of a full
apology on air.
ABC, in a letter to 80-20 and Mr. Kimmel on an October 28, 2013 episode,
maintained that the
segment was meant for entertainment. What ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel’s
so-called
apology (“I am sorry if I offended you.”) further ridiculed the Chinese.
During a conversation
with protesters on October 29, 2013, Mr. Kimmel even alluded to the
outrageous idea that the
anger of the Asian community was due to a “cultural difference.” Mr.
Kimmel’s repeated bad
judgment undoubtedly demonstrates that he is an unsuitable public figure or
role model for our
children. In addition, Disney, a PERFECT idol in children's world, should
take a strong moral
stand on human dignity. There should be zero tolerance, especially across
its own
organization, of hate speeches of any kind.
We respectfully demand that:
(1) ABC issue a public apology on air and on all of its websites,
acknowledging that it
was wrong to broadcast the October 16, 2013 episode.
(2) ABC dismiss Mr. Kimmel and explain in details the reasons to the public.
(3) ABC publish specific procedures and institute training programs to
ensure racial
tolerance and advise the Chinese community of its plan.
ABC, killing is NOT a joke!
ABC, take action to let the public know there is zero tolerance for
statements of hatred on
network television!
ABC, your so-called apologies are NOT acceptable!
Disney, teach our children to LOVE, not hate!
Fellow Americans, join us in our fight against racial discrimination!
TOGETHER we will make
America a better place to live for us ALL!
