The punchline came when he interviewed the Asian-American child. He was
making fun of the infantile mentality of jingoistic American pundits and
sadly, way too many Americans. Too bad too many Americans (and Chinese) are
too stupid to see it. He wasn't demeaning Chinese, he was demeaning
stupidity, bigotry, blind obedience to stupid, self-serving politicians. In
other words, if you're offended, you're the butt of the joke. NOW you can
get pissed off at Kimmel. He called you on it.
If one examines the stated goals of the Communist Party of China, one would
find the implict goal of destroying the United States. After all, these
thieves steal our technology, spy on our citizens, infiltrate our research
laboratories, are actively building advanced ICBM's to vaporize the US, and
participating in near acts of war when it comes to trade agreements. If I
were a chinese leader, I would make a statement that this is just a
TELEVISION SHOW and not an official organ of the US government. Something
the chinese understand, if not practice. We still have freedom of thought,
freedom of expression and freedom to make a light hearted joke with little
kids in a setting that could NEVER be misunderstood as hostile.
According to a brief internet search, there are over 312 million people in
the US, only 3.5 million of whom are Chinese. If Jimmy Kimmel can kill
everyone in China, the few Chinese people living here should be easy to deal
with by comparison. :)
To put this in context, one of the best friends I've ever had is from Korea.
He jokes a lot about Hitler, pedophilia and other sensitive topics, and I
have no doubt that he gave this "news" an eye roll if he read it.
Comedians have been offending people for a very long time. This is nothing
new. In the long run, most of what it will do is give Jimmy Kimmel publicity
, and you know what they say. "There's no such thing as bad publicity."
