Chinese-American groups staged a protest demonstration on Saturday outside the California headquarters of ABC, the broadcaster of the show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The controversy blew up after a segment of the show that aired on October 16. Host Jimmy Kimmel, who often uses children on his show for comedic effect on adult issues, asked a group of four children during a [B] non-scripted[/B] segment how the United States should pay back the $1.3 trillion it owes to China, the world's second-largest economy. A 6-year-old replied, "Kill everyone in China." ... [B]Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said ABC must respond to the Chinese-American community's protests.[/B] ... ABC, which is owned by Walt Disney Co, on Saturday issued a statement in Chinese intended for China that apologized again for the segment and said it has added new quality controls. [/quote]

He's a comedian that made an offensive joke. The chinese sure like to attempt to censor things that they dont appreciate.

Ridiculous.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;42842823]Because they have nothing else to protest about? [editline]12th November 2013[/editline] Granted it might not have been in good taste.[/QUOTE] Cause if they protest about something that matters, they'll mysteriously disappear.

Well to be fair if I was given the opportunity to protest something without government tanks running me over, I'd jump at the opportunity as well

This is how WW3 starts.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;42842771]He's a comedian that made an offensive joke. The chinese sure like to attempt to censor things that they dont appreciate.[/QUOTE] he didn't even make the joke, it was something a little kid said. Little kids say illogical things like that all the time because they're little kids, no one's manipulating them one could argue that the things kids say are influenced by the information they take in everyday, but that is most certainly not the product of a TV show, but rather the product of an entire culture.

[QUOTE=Valdor;42842909]i'm sure you'll be just fine protesting in canada[/QUOTE] Yes because that's what I was referring to Also, don't be so sure never know when harper will barrel down the road in a Leopard II

-automerge-

Also are these even Chinese people? The woman on the left with the sign looks Khmer, and some of the others look Korean. Oh and there's a black woman. [QUOTE=hypno-toad;42842864]Well to be fair if I was given the opportunity to protest something without government tanks running me over, I'd jump at the opportunity as well[/QUOTE] He should totally pull that one.

Ah yes the Chinese are famous for their sense of humor

[QUOTE=Irkalla;42842968]Also are these even Chinese people? The woman on the left with the sign looks Khmer, and some of the others look Korean. Oh and there's a black woman.[/QUOTE] The fuck does it matter?

Um. I watched this and thought it was kids saying stupid shit like kids normally do. Kimmel didn't even advocate for the killing of Chinese people, the kid just said something stupid and he replied to it.

-oh shit, wrong thread, snip again-

Kimmel doesn't even look like Adolf Hitler let alone behave like him so it's not a legitimate criticism

[QUOTE=Trogdon;42843028]The fuck does it matter?[/QUOTE] It seems to follow that Chinese-Americans would be more pissed than other groups because the remark targeted them.

I just watched the video They're protesting over THIS?

the show featured white, black, and asian kids, means it can't be racist

I wonder if they protest this much against all the white supremacists who still actively discriminate against Asians and *do* think we should kill all the Chinese?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't it the kid with blonde hair that comes up with 'kill everyone in china', not Kimmel? In any case this is stupid.

[QUOTE=anis;42843378]Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't it the kid with blonde hair that comes up with 'kill everyone in china', not Kimmel? In any case this is stupid.[/QUOTE] Kimmel's show, and it's most likely scripted.

That's right China, complain about a stupid comment from a child on the other side of the world and moan about racism while you're busy breeding out Tibet and Xinjiang and exiling Kazakhs, nice to see where your priorities lie

Lol look at those signs made in Microsoft Word On topic, seems a bit overkill for them to do. It was just a joke, and he apologized twice for it.

I'm willing to bet that most of the people protesting haven't actually seen the video, and instead they were told what happened by an overly sensitive idiot who convinced them to.

So the chinese, the most racist people in world, complain about a skit with kids saying silly things

[QUOTE=SuddenImpact;42843785]So the chinese, the most racist people in world, complain about a skit with kids saying silly things[/QUOTE] Because if its China, its Wrong! I mean, [I]forget[/I] the Gays! They aren't laughed or stereotyped at all!

I bet most of them never even watched the clip.

I like how they're spreading lies(i.e. PROMOTING GENOCIDE) or Nazi jimmy!-- as if they're any better for calling someone "a hitler"
