评论：UPDATE - From The Chinese American Professors and Professionals Network (2013 No.33) |

80-20 might be too excited prematurely, or they might stretch the outcome a tiny bit. But regardless, they are so far the only formal representation of the Chinese people in this matter and they did gain more than what we have done here – just whining hopelessly. Instead of doubting or accusing them for whatever you may suspect them for, we should provide them with suggestions and encourage them to push their campaign further so that ABC or even Disney will apologize openly instead of its current form of merely sending a fax. 80-20 has made progress in this. They are the best candidate among all of us to push this further. You can even make them feel “骑虎难下” if you are really doubting their motives.
Disney is aiming to make a lot of money from Chinese people. They should pay more attentions to our feelings now. Therefore, we should have some leverage with them. |

I encourage everybody read that PDF (the fax page from ABC) carefully, like I did - and make your own judgement. That fax actually tells more about the story than Mr. Woo's long announcement. |

Mr. Cheng:
Please scroll all the way down at the bottom, where there is a link to a pdf letter from ABC, which clearly indicates an apology. Please know that I do not work for 80-20. I just heard about them and thought it would be a good organization to mobilize to address this issue. Please don’t be so quick to criticize. Think first about what you can and have done for the community. |

I do not see ABC publish/post any apology anywhere. An apology that 80-20 said ABC made to 80-20 and asked 80-20 to pass on to other Asian Americans... ? And if anybody care to read that so-called apology letter, you judge yourself. I do not see any apology - I only see how desperate 80-20 is to benefit from this incident.
Judging from the wording of 80-20''''s announcement letter and the wording of the ABC letter, it seems to me that 80-20 had desperately begged ABC for an apology, and pathetically attempted to claim credit from any meaningful back-stepping of ABC. After failed on both accounts, 80-20 shamelessly announced a non-existing victory and hastefully called for more membership and donation in name of its non-existing victory - hoping nobody would notice they are nothing but a bunch of clowns.
Please, 80-20, stop pretending you are some sort of representative of Asian Americans. It is distasteful because you represent nobody but your bosses in DNC. If ABC truly wants to apologize, they make public apology to Asian Americans directly. Waving a page of fax from ABC and claiming you fought for Asian Americans and won - it is beyond pathetic - it is actually an insult to Asian Americans'''' intelligence.

]ABC Apologizes to People of Chinese Descent Through 80-20 PAC. After 2.5 days of hard negotiations, 80-20 obtained an apology from ABC for airing the "kill every Chinese" segment on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" which is actually not live. 80-20 took ABC executives to task for their grievous lack of judgment. On the other hand, we can shrug off those kids' statements, because "Kids say the darndest things."
Two high ABC executives asked 80-20 to convey ABC's "sincere apology" to all persons of Chinese descent. On 10.23, after S. B. Woo, President of 80-20 PAC contacted ABC, it immediately took down the offensive segment on the Youtube. However, 80-20 didn't announce that progress, because intense negotiation was continuing.
80-20 PAC is proud to have served the Chinese Am. component of the Asian Am community by being the ONLY organization to have obtained a verbal & written
apology from ABC. This incident is a teachable moment for our community -- the importance of an Asian Am organization that has the stature & ability to serve the rightful interests of our community. It illustrates the importance of SELF RELIANCE. Please DONATE to 80-20 EF's SELF project. Click on http://admin.80-20nj.info/cgi/80/e?l=8/au/1/f&w=no .
EF has already raised $635,000. Visit the Acknowledgement Page here.

==============================
PRESS RELEASE: ABC Apologizes to People of Chinese Descent Through 80-20 PAC
80-20 PAC, which is by far the largest Asian American political action committee with an email list of 350,000 e-addresses, announced today that ABC's top executives gave verbal and written apologies for permitting an offensive segment in "Jimmy
Kimmel Live" to air. It requested S. B. Woo, President of 80-20 National Asian American Political Action Committee, to be a conduit to convey "our sincere
apology" to the "Chinese community, Asian Community, anyone of Chinese descent or any community at large."
ABC also apologized for letting the offensive segment to get on Youtube linkage. ABC stressed that upon being contacted by 80-20 PAC, it has since "taken swift action" to remove it and promised to �edi 5f92 t(ing) it out of any future airing of the show.
The written apology was signed by ABC's Executive Vice President, Alernative Series, Specials and Late Night, Lisa Berger, and Vice President, Talent Development and Diversity, Tim McNeal. Mr. McNeal also verbally requested S. B. Woo to convey ABC's eagerness to have Asian American writers, actors and producers apply for jobs with ABC. It is one way to avoid such unfortunate incident in the future -- through diversity in its organization. McNeal said, "ABC takes achieving diversity very seriously." Interested parties may reach his office at Tim.McNeal@ABC.com.
Mr. McNeal has also offered to ask the producer of the "Jimmy Kimmel Live' to "personally apologize." Woo preferred a written apology from the top executives
which was sent subsequently.
S. B. Woo said, "Many worked to achieve this success. 80-20 is very much aware that many different individuals and organizations in the Chinese, Asian and other communities have made great efforts asking ABC to apologize. They organized a petition at the White House, and planned demonstrations in NY & SF. The Chinese media, in particular, did an outstanding job in calling our community's at… |

Hi, All: Good news! ABC has apologized to us through 80-20 PAC. This is a small victory. It further confirms this is an important issue that needs to be addressed. It shows we do matter, and have the rights and power to get heard. Congratulations to our first victory, which I hope is one of many to come. |

The aired program is for sure NOT within the protection of freedom of speech pertinent to commercial messages. The bottom line is to file a suit against ABC and the host for monetary damages and/or injunction. It could be a class action suit one as many people are similarly situated. The best the U.S. goverment could do is to cite ABC and its subsidary stations with a fine under the certain federal laws that prohibits the promotion of violence or racially hatred conduct, similarly to the Janet Jackson incident for exposure at the Super Bowl years ago, evey affiliated TV stations got fined individually by the U.S. government. |

I don't want to talk about this any more. I don't have an American dream. I am a temporary worker here. I enjoy living in US but I decided to move to UK after couple of years.
