comments-made-on-the-five-program
Mr. Bob Beckel made explicit racially discriminative comments towards
Chinese on a nationally televised program. Such insulting slur, as well as
those who use it recklessly and conveniently, should deserve no place at Fox
News. Moreover, Mr. Beckel’s comments are a classic example of
stereotyping and racial prejudice that would not only mislead the public
with such groundless accusations, but also obliterate the loyalty and
contributions Chinese immigrants have made to this great nation to date. It
is important for Fox News to know that it should never become a safe harbor
for such racially discriminative behaviors under the disguise of "Freedom of
Speech", or risks her reputation to be tarnished.
To:
FOX News
On July 10, 2014, Mr. Bob Beckel made racially discriminative comments on
nationally televised program "The Five". This is completely unacceptable.
Such insulting slur, as well as those who use it recklessly and conveniently
, should deserve no place at Fox News. Moreover, Mr. Beckel’s comments are
a classic example of stereotyping and racial prejudice that would not only
mislead the public with such groundless accusations, but also obliterate the
loyalty and contributions Chinese immigrants have made to this great nation
to date. Fox News should never become a safe harbor for such racially
discriminative behaviors under the disguise of "Freedom of Speech", or risks
her reputation to be tarnished.
It seems to have become a trend and occupational hazard that from time to
time, certain racially prejudiced people at news outlet would pick on the
under-represented and poke Chinese American’s in the eye. They need to be
told that there are tens of thousands of Chinese American professionals
working at the best hi-tech companies in this country and producing the most
essential technologies that enable the selfie-driven life style that Mr.
Beckel and his equally ignorant co-hosts and their families enjoy on daily
basis – Yes, if you are smart enough to know what a smart phone is, Mr.
Beckel, every single smart phone in American contains the circuitry designed
by a Chinese American engineer.
We call for Mr. Beckel resignation or dismissal, and a formal apology by Fox
News to Chinese American communities across the country for the lack of
moral standard and judgment in its program. We demand that Fox News review
its programs to avoid becoming a venue for racists like Mr. Beckel in the
future.
Sincerely,
[Your name] |
