Dear Senator xxxx,
My name is xxx, residing in xxxx. I am writing in concern of the Jimmy
Kimmel Live! on Oct. 16, broadcasted by ABC. The program is offensive.
Please use your influence to stop the propaganda of racial hatred and
genocide.
During the Oct. 16 episode of ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," host Kimmel posed a
question to four kids: "America owes China a lot of money, $1.3 trillion.
How should we pay them back?" One child suggested "killing everyone in China
." Kimmel laughed "that's an interesting idea."
The young boy might not know anything better. But what sickens me is how
Jimmy Kimmel and ABC’s management handled the comment. They had a choice
not to air this racist clip, which clearly promotes racial hatred and
genocide. I cannot imagine this piece would have been aired if it were
targeting at Jewish, black, GLBT or lots of other minority groups. I have
nothing against those groups. But by contrast, Jimmy Kimmel and ABC’s lack
of sensitivity to Chinese community was evidential.
After waves of angry protests across America, ABC tried to use vague
language to get by. Below please see what is published on ABC’s website.
ABC is apologizing for a segment of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in which a child
joked about killing Chinese people to help erase the U.S. debt.
The boy's unscripted comment came during a comedy bit in which youngsters
commented on news events. The skit, aimed at poking fun at childish
politicians, aired last week on Kimmel's late-night talk show.
ABC's apology came in response to a complaint from a group called 80-20 that
identifies itself as a pan-Asian-American political organization.
In an Oct. 25 letter to the group, ABC said it would never purposefully do
anything to upset the Chinese, Asian or other communities. The network says
the skit will be edited out of the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" episode for future
airings or any other distribution, including online.
In the letter, ABC demonstrated that they have no idea what went wrong. ABC
chose to broadcast the same rhetoric used by Nazi against Jews. It is not a
joke. It is irrelevant whether ABC did it “purposefully”, or not. They
showed no real regret, nor planned to do anything to stop it from happening
again in the future.
Your Honorable, as you are aware, Chinese community in xxxxxxx, though small
in number, has been a strong contributor to the local economy. We cherish
our culture heritage, and believe in the American value, which states in the
constitution, “We the people’. The program is totally unacceptable and it
has to be cut. A sincere apology must be issued by ABC. Your Honorable,
please use your influence to ensure all races can live peacefully together
in xxxxxxx.
Thank you for your time and considering my request.
Sincerely, |
