  • “Kill Everyone in China”? Disney Lost Its Magic by Airing Genocidal Discussions on ABC

    By David Li, bostonese.com

    In a recent episode of ABC’s Jimmy Ki­mmel Live, the host discussed with four kids of the government shutdown in the Kid’s Table segment. When Jimmy Ki­mmel asked the kids about what to do with the $1.3 trillion U.S. debt to China, one boy replied: “Kill everyone in China.” Jimmy Ki­mmel commented “that’s an interesting idea,” and went on to discuss more about this idea as if there was nothing wrong with it. The editors and managers of ABC must have felt the same way, and aired these racist and genocidal discussions on air.
