On the 23rd local time, the program was deleted from the ABC website.
It is reported that in this program, the host jimmy kimmel invited four children with different skin colors to form a "children's round table" to discuss state affairs with candy, so as to satirize "members of Congress are as irritable as children."
When Jimmy asked, "We owe China $65,438 +0.3 trillion in debt, how can we pay it back?" A 5-year-old boy made a surprising statement, saying that he would "go to the other side of the globe and kill everyone in China". Jimmy quipped, "Kill all China people? This is a very interesting idea. " This insulting remark in Jimmy's program caused great controversy.
On the White House website, the White House petition calling for the deletion of the plan has more than 25,000 signatures. The petition said that it was deeply disturbed by this "children's round table show". "This program is totally unacceptable and should be banned. Nazi Germany used the same words for Jews. Relevant parties must immediately delete this program and sincerely apologize. "
In addition to most China petitioners, there are also petitioners whose names are obviously westerners. A petitioner wrote: "I am very disturbed by the remarks in Jimmy's program. Children may not be sensible, but Jimmy and ABC's managers are adults, and ABC must make a sincere apology. "
After watching the video on YouTube, a China commented, "It's not the children who are angry with me, but their parents, the host and ABC. They ruined the children. My daughter is 4 years old. If she says she wants to kill all blacks or Jews, I will definitely criticize her very seriously, because this is intolerable. "
Some Asian-American blogs also criticized the project. The Bostonian, an online magazine serving the Chinese community in Boston, wrote, "Mr. Cammore, it is not funny to broadcast these racist and extinct discussions."
Foreign programs "insulting China" are not uncommon, and some TV stations even repeat their old tricks. In this regard, Guan Liming, a senior media person of the American Overseas Chinese News, said in an interview a few days ago that American TV hosts know very little about China, and it is not surprising that this kind of thing happened, but it is absolutely intolerable.
