这两天我总在想,白宫网站上的签名数量还远远不够,怎么能动员更多人来帮助我们达
成目标呢?
很多已发出的信件都表达了这期节目对华人感情的伤害,对中国人赤裸裸的歧视,以及
对racial hatred的推波助澜作用。但是这期节目的恶性影响不仅仅涉及华人。本身
killing,let someone live这样的表述,体现的就是对生命本身的漠视和对他人的冷
血,不管这个他人来自什么国家。现在美国校园枪击案那么多,Sandy Hook的死难者还
尸骨未寒,作父母作老师都成了高危职业,因为孩子们越来越多的在用暴力解决问题。
也许你公司里的老美,老印和其它国家的移民都不在乎华裔在美国的未来,但是他们不
会有人赞成校园枪击,赞成暴力宣传,不会有人完全不关心自家孩子是否成长在一个安
全的社会环境下。所以可以紧紧抓住JK节目Promote violence, show no respect for
life, suggest that there is nothing wrong with solving problems by killing
people, etc. 你的出发点就是关心青少年心理发展,反对暴力。
我已经用这套逻辑说服组里的一个老印和一个老美签白宫请愿了,因为他们都有上小学
的孩子。如果你认识的人里有中小学老师,学区心理医生,儿科医生,甚至经常去孩子
学校做义工的父母,你都可以用如上理由把他们争取过来。
我给ABC发的信写的不好,不过贴出来让大家参考,算是抛砖引玉吧。 | f********t 发帖数: 6999 | 2 Dear Mr. Lee,
I am writing this letter to voice my complaint against Jimmy Kimmel's "Kid's
round table" show that was aired on Oct 16. During the show a 6 year old
boy proposed the idea of solving American's debt crisis by "Killing everyone
in China". Instead of telling the boy that taking anyone's life is
fundamentally wrong, Mr. Kimmel laughed about it, made the comment that this
was an "interesting idea" and asked the kids in the show "Should we allow
the Chinese to live?". Mr. Kimmel tried to suggest that "killing everyone"
is not a very good solution to that particular problem, not because it
should not even be an option, but because "if you kill everyone in that
country, you can't borrow money from them anymore." Yet, this approach
remained an "interesting idea", a backup plan, a viable alternative, and a
potentially effective problem solving strategy.
As the mother of a school-aged child, I find these comments extremely
disturbing, discriminatory, and violent. The host's complete lack of respect
for life was setting a very toxic example for the next generation of
Americans. Killing people as a problem solving strategy has been,
unfortunately, all too familiar to us. With the growing number of campus
shooting tragedies, young children all over the country have been using this
strategy to get themselves out of unwanted situations. During the past
couple of days, two excellent teachers, one in Nevada, one in Boston, were
murdered by their teenage students. I would say this is not a coincident
that these murders occurred right after Jimmy Kimmel's show.
ABC is a well known broadcasting company and a very popular one among
American families. Airing this kind of discriminatory and violence-
promoting shows nationally was a huge mistake, and has already caused damage
to your company's public image.
A sincere apology must be issued. The way Mr. Kimmel reacted to the kid's
proposal showcased his lack of competence and integrity, thus he is not
suited for the job of a TV host. His speech is extremely distasteful and
this is the same rhetoric used in Nazi Germany against Jewish people. Please
immediately take actions by cutting the show and issuing a formal apology
to the general public.
Thank you,
A concerned parent |
