Why isn’t the case here? It may be related to the biased system against Chinese. There were talks of legislation by some politicians to set up a higher threshold for Asian kids to enter college, which is purely discriminatory, and unconstitutional. There was a protest and that legislation died. So we need to fight on everything major so that we are not hurt. This show should be the case to fight on. |

There are more important things. In Australia, selectiveness is only based on merits. So in the selective school, 90% of students are from Chinese background. I believe this is not case here. I think this is something worth more effort and attention than that TV program. |

We live in this country so do as the Romans do. Let's not keep comparing what can be done here to what can be done in China. One of the best things about this country is constitutional rights of any individual, or human rights. We the people are more powerful than the government, the media, or any institution. But use it or lose it. If you read history of the U.S., every new immigrant group has fought their way to the present to gain their rights. The Irish, Italians, Jews, blacks, Hispanics, and so on. The Chinese group is the weakest and there doesn't seem any voice here. That's why there is a general disrespect, or outright hostility towards China and Chinese in general in the media and politics, and among Americans. It is our responsibility to band together, to speak up, to educate others. |

“Interesting Idea” may be a polite way to disagree, but also can mean something the listener hasn’t thought of. The host is the only adult at the table and has choices. He could have corrected the kid right on the spot if the comment is out of line. What the kid said was wrong and he could have said “no, you can’t do that, this is wrong”. But he didn’t and he didn’t have to be polite to the kids. This is where it is offensive. What’s more, ABC decided to air it, which implies their endorsement. That’s what’s wrong and outrageous. They would never dare to do that to the Jews and blacks or any other ethnic groups. ABC or Disney’s chief would have resigned or fired immediately. That’s why we need to protest.
One of the key skills to develop to survive and thrive in this country as a minority is to be tuned in, and hone our awareness and sensitivity towards bias, prejudice, and hostility, so that we can protect ourselves and our children, and defend ourselves when attacked. America is multi-cultural, but American public can be very ignorant, biased. I am sure you might have experienced this at work, or outside work, to some degree. We have a responsibility to educate others about our culture, and establish boundaries, just like any other ethnic group has done. This comes with experience, and time spent here, and more importantly, being tuned in. It’s never too late to start opening your eyes and ears and be aware.

If you live in a country and don't social with the majority people you won''t understand what they are saying. When an American say "interesting idea" means he doesn't agree with you but doesn''t know how to or just doesn''t want to present a different idea.
I viewed a video and and think whoever started the petition were over sensitive. Do you really think those kids mean or understand what they were saying? Or a petition is another kind of humor I didn't get :)
Regards

The host not only did not correct the kid but said it was an “interesting idea”. What’s more outrageous ABC aired this despite the fact it was pre-recorded. It is a brazen act of terror against Chinese people, and an egregious hate crime. Imagine this is done to other ethnic groups, like the Jewish and blacks. The host would have been fired right away and ABC would have issued an apology already. We as a group need to band together to have our voices heard. Otherwise, this is going to no end.
I was very disturbed by Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘Kids Table’ show. It was aired on ABC recently and talked about killing all the Chinese so that the states do not need to pay back their debts to China. The kids might not know anything better. However, Jimmy Kimmel and ABC’s management are adults. They had a choice not to air this racist program, which promotes racial hatred. The program is totally unacceptable and it must be cut. A sincere apology must be issued. It is extremely distasteful and this is the same rhetoric used in Nazi Germany against Jewish people. Please immediately cut the show and issue a formal apology.
