今天收到犹太裔 抗议。全文如下：
THIS IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR THIS TYPE OF DIALOGUE! I am a bleeding
heart liberal who believes in tolerance and pluralism. There are far too
many instances of racism/mass slaughter/inexcusable systematic infringements
on human and civil rights in this world. But this is NOT the forum to air
my or your outrage on any given topic -- save for maybe something having to
do with the community. There are many other outlets for this. I absolutely
understand your fury and Kimmel's comments were outrageous. However, there
is NO similarity WHATSOEVER between his comments and the complex interplay
of circumstances and rhetoric that led up to the Jewish holocaust during
World War II. If you want to talk about offense -- I, the descendant of Nazi
camp survivors and my husband, who had a whole arm of his family wiped out
by the Nazis, take utter offense to your casual use of this comparison.
There have certainly been many, many other instances of ethnic cleansing
committed -- to list even a fraction of them is not necessary. While none
are identical, there are indeed many similarities. The Kimmel incident is
not even a tiny bit close.
或许我们不该用犹太人的历史在公开场合下比较。这对他们也是个 Offense
该封公开信好象是某地游行时的宣传单。
全文如下：
An Open Letter To ABC And The Walt Disney Company
Today we get together to express our outrage, concern and
disappointment brought by the Kids Table Show - Government Shutdown
from Jimmy Kimmel Live by ABC, aired on Oct 16, 2013. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9HIKCHRYSM&feature=youtu.be

In the show, one kid, when being asked how to avoid paying Chinese debts,
answered “kill everyone in China”. Everyone including Jimmy Kimmel laughed
. Jimmy Kimmel further commented that "This is an interesting idea!" Later
on, Jimmy Kimmel brought up this subject again and specifically asked "
should we allow Chinese to live". And the show ended in laughter.
We request ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel and issue a formal apology to ALL of its
viewers. This show promotes hatred, racism and violence, and particularly,
delivers toxic messages to our next generation. This is NOT FUNNY. Joking
with genocide in a public show is unacceptable; joking with genocide of a
particular race in a public show is zero-tolerable. It crosses the line in a
civilized society. Similar “joke” on Jews was laughed off in 1930s in
Germany, and we all know what happened later.
We are especially offended because this show used innocent children to
spread thoughts that some adults dared not speak by themselves. Even more,
it delivers messages to kids that 1) you can solve your own problem by
killing other people; 2) you have the right to allow other people to live or
not. We should teach our children to LOVE, NOT to KILL. We have seen
violence far too many times in schools. If such irresponsible behaviors of
the media cannot be stopped, we will have another Sandy Hook tragedy soon.
Chinese communities are organizing other protests and activities including
boycotting Disney and filing a lawsuit until our requests appropriately
answered. Today we stand here to speak out not only for ourselves, but also
for all children, and for a better society that Dr. Martin Luther King had
dreamed. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Concerned Citizens
