I'm a fifteen year old California girl, born and raised in the Bay Area. I'm
proud to be an American.
But I also am proud of my Chinese heritage.
Look, I've always been a fan of Jimmy Kimmel. Really. But this obscene,
disgusting, offensive exchange definitely crossed a line.
Discrimination - whether against a certain gender, religion, sexuality,
class, ethnic group, or race, is NEVER okay. Since the beginning of the
history of America, we've clearly made advances towards achieving more
equality in society. But discrimination still exists - including racially
motivated discrimination, which I've had personal experience with - and it's
we something we should still be actively fighting against.
Violence among children is also an issue that needs to be addressed. At
school, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards bullying, which is something
that I fully support. If somebody is being taunted by others, the bullies
might use the excuse that their teasing is "just a joke." But if the victim
feels seriously hurt by his/her peers' words, then that is classified as
bullying, and it immediately needs to stop and requires a thorough and
sincere apology. This is sort of the same thing.
Clearly, I'm not saying that Jimmy Kimmel can't joke and poke fun at
anything. Part of what makes comedy funny is that it's satirizing things.
But if something featured on his show is not only deeply offensive to a
group of people, but also harmful to society as a whole in that it promotes
racial insensitivity and hatred, it needs to be stopped immediately -
regardless of whether or not he thought "it was a joke" (even though it
clearly wasn't).
Violence among children and racially motivated discrimination is not okay.
And they're not things that are okay to joke about, either. And that's why I
'm proud of my mom for participating in the Protest on October 28th, 2013.
We need more people out there, standing up against discrimination, violence,
and hatred, united in our goal of securing a better future for ourselves
and out children.
