发帖数: 1563 | 1 Overseas Chinese communities and domestic Chinese citizens alike have
rallied together against US comedian Jimmy Kimmel and television network ABC
for a late night talk show skit that suggested Americans “kill everyone in
China”.
The skit, originally aired on the “Kid’s Table” segment of Kimmel’s talk
show on October 16, instantly drew ire from the Chinese community, who
began a White House petition calling for a formal apology.
The petition called the skit “extremely distasteful and … the same
rhetoric used in Nazi Germany against Jewish people.”

Chinese community rallies against Jimmy Kimmel for 'kill everyone in China'
comment
Word of the controversy and videos of the skit have also attracted attention
in China’s microblog community, where SIna Weibo users urged all overseas
Chinese living in the San Francisco area to make their voices heard at ABC’
s headquarters.
“All Chinese living near San Francisco, let’s form a collective on Monday
and protest outside the doors of ABC,” one outspoken Weibo user living in
California wrote. “Spread the word!”
Joe Wong, a Chinese American stand-up comedian, has been particularly vocal
in his support of the petition on his own microblog.
“I am a comedian,” Wong wrote. “But I’m also Chinese. Some [Americans]
dare to make fun of Chinese minorities, but they would not do the same thing
to other races. Why? Because when they offend African Americans or Jewish
people, the consequences are too serious.
“There are millions of Chinese out there, but only tens of thousands have
signed [the petition] … Everyone may be busy, but the point of being busy
is to give yourself and future generations the chance to live in a society
that understands and respects Chinese people. Please grasp this opportunity
and sign this petition.”
The original clip of the skit has been removed from Youtube, but neither
Kimmel nor ABC have responded to the controversy yet.
