(This letter was written by Swan Lee on behalf of protesters of the Jimmy Kimmel Live TV show.)
Dear Fair and Righteous Citizens of the World,
We don’t know who you are, but we know you are out there. We are asking for your urgent help. We have been rendered voiceless, powerless, and hopeless by the American mass media and many Americans. The American mass media have lost journalistic ethics and objectivity and have been blatantly and partially defending ABC’s show host, Jimmy Kimmel, who used children to discuss the merits of annihilating all Chinese people for the purpose of evading American government debt owed to Chinese government. This prerecorded skit was broadcast on ABC channel on October 16, 2013, a day that hundreds of millions of us will remember as the most traumatizing and humiliating day in our lives, a day that brought ravages and devastation that we, our parents, and our children, will never fully recover from. The majority of Americans’ indifference and even worsened hostility towards our suffering have kept adding more wounds to our injuries. We have nowhere to go to have the perpetrators and abusers of human beings’ inherent dignity be brought under justice. Now, as our last resort, with the last shred of hope for human compassion that we believe must exist in this world, we ask for your gracious help. You, citizens of the world with a sense of justice and love in your heart, can help hundreds of millions of people, in fact, one fifth of the world’s population, regain their human status and dignity.
Protest against ABC at Holocaust Memorial in Boston on Nov. 2, 2013.
