  • 家园 【整理】李春燕博士在抗议“杀光中国人”现场的长篇演讲

    李大姐真是女中豪杰,气势强,立意高,声情并茂,切中要害, 打动人心。视频比原文更打动人。

    站在“美国是前进还是倒退”的高度质问, 和当年王清福的质问“排华违反自由平等,留下的只有野蛮和倒退”遥相呼应。打动人心的良知。“kill everyone in China demonstrates what the society and media had been feeding our young kids. My heart sank. Is America moving forward or backward?”

    指出JK 的所谓“道歉”完全是企图蒙混过关,并未提到错在哪里?对谁道歉?并用“对谁道歉”带出JK对中国人、对儿童、对民权运动的伤害,过渡不露痕迹,一气呵成。” “Sorry to whom? To the Chinese whose sense of tranquility is forever disturbed? To our kids whom we try so hard to shield from pain and harm? To the schools that teach kids the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King? ABC, do you call that an apology ?”

    针对“玩笑,娱乐Joke/entertain”的狡辩,质问为什么开杀中国人的玩笑是娱乐?“Why is joking about killing Chinese so entertaining?”

    针对JK的文化差异说(cultural difference),用中国传统的“勤劳、尊敬、和谐”反衬JK的“暴力、种族仇恨”。用JK自己的话打脸。“A culture of hard work, respect, harmony versus a culture of violence and racial hatred? Then I admit there is an unbridgeable difference between Kimmel and us.”。

    最后,给对方留下改过的余地,指出只有直面错误,真诚改过才是出路。有理有节。“America is the home of the brave. ABC, show our kids you have the courage of admitting wrong doing, show our kids you have the guts to take responsibility by dismissing Mr. Kimmel. Show us you have the resolve to institute procedures to prevent future incidences. ABC, do NOT hide behind a 6-year old! Show us what a major network can do to right its wrong!”

    What a Journey

    Chunyan Li, Ph.D.

    11/8/2013

    How long does it take us to get here today? One hour? Two hours? For me, it is 20 years! 20 years ago I arrived at this land of the free, full of ideals, perhaps from listening too much to radio Voice of America. 20 years later my sons join me to protest against ABC's spreading of racial hatred and violence. What is wrong with this picture?

    I ask my teenage son whether we should just treat "killing Chinese" as a joke. He said this demonstrates what the society and media had been feeding our young kids. My heart sank. Is America moving forward or backward?

    Now I ask again: How long does it take us to get here? I don't know about you, but the last 20 days seem longer than my 20 years. Those of us who stand here today must have been reading, writing, arguing, and agonizing over confusing pieces of reports and commentaries. And we ask ourselves, are we being unreasonable? Is our English that bad that we don't know what an apology is?

    On 10/28, the night of our first protest, Mr. Kimmel said, "today is a weird day...I am sorry if I offended anyone." I ask ABC, who is the weird one? Who truly apologizes if he doesn't even say sorry for what? Sorry to whom? To the Chinese whose sense of tranquility is forever disturbed? To our kids whom we try so hard to shield from pain and harm? To the schools that teach kids the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King? ABC, do you call that an apology?

    In a letter to 80-20, ABC still claims it only entertains. Why is joking about killing Chinese so entertaining? Is it because we are always so nice? My friend's sweet 11-year old wants to write on his poster, "do not take advantage of us." I first didn't understand, then found out he meant "don't take advantage of us because we are nice." That broke my heart!!! ABC and Mr . Kimmel, we hold you accountable for taking away our children's precious sense of security. And we hold you accountable for sowing the seeds of hatred in other children's minds.

    On 10/29, Mr. Kimmel even resorted to the ridiculous notion of cultural difference. I ask him, what cultural difference do you mean? A culture of hard work, respect, harmony versus a culture of violence and racial hatred? Then I admit there is an unbridgeable difference between Kimmel and us. We know what's right, what's wrong. And we know what humor is too! Yet we have no tolerance of your malicious joke, subsequent insult on air, then the absurd reference to culture. This only proves Mr. Kimmel you are unfit to be a public figure.

    ABC, stop blaming cultural differences for your own mistakes! Except for Native Americans, all are immigrants with unique traits. Yet we share the basic value of human dignity. Stop magnifying the differences in skin colors , or accents!

    I ask a third time, how long does it take us to get here? Our friends started telling us there is another written apology somewhere. Who in real life is given so many third chances? Yet I ponder, are we asking too much? I discovered to my dismay that in that written letter, Mr. Kimmel is still hiding behind the 6-year old. Come on Mr. Kimmel, you think our anger is on a 6-year old? Our anger is on your malicious question "Should we allow the Chinese to live?" Our anger is on your subsequent arrogant ridicule. Our rage is on ABC for not letting the public know the truth of these so called apologies.

    America is the home of the brave. ABC, show our kids you have the courage of admitting wrong doing, show our kids you have the guts to take responsibility by dismissing Mr. Kimmel. Show us you have the resolve to institute procedures to prevent future incidences. ABC, do NOT hide behind a 6-year old! Show us what a major network can do to right its wrong!

    Twenty years, twenty days. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Who doesn't want to be happy? But without life, what is liberty? Without liberty, what is happiness? Let's join hands in our pursuit of human dignity.

    Teach kids to love, not to kill!

    • 家园 请问有否后续故事?
      • 家园 如下,只记录不评论

        此事引起了华人强烈反响,華盛頓、纽约、旧金山、洛杉矶、休斯敦等20多城市爆发了大规模的华人抗议活动,要求美国广播公司(ABC)为此道歉,并开除JK。最后ABC道歉并停办Kid's Table 节目, 但JK仍留任主持人。

        同时,华人还向白宫请愿,签名超过十万人后白宫回复: 认为ABC, JK已经道歉,而且此观点并不代表美国主流媒体的观点。 “noted that ABC and Kimmel have “already apologized independently” and said that the comments “do not reflect mainstream views of China in the United States.”

        然而,白宫认为美国保护言论自由,政府不能迫使ABC关闭节目。“U.S. Constitution protects free speech and that the federal government cannot force ABC to “cut the show”.

        部分媒体和部分华人认为此言论并非辱华。

        法国国际广播电台表示,“杀光中国人”并非辱华,也与种族歧视无关。中国政府控制媒体片面报道,煽动民众仇恨并误导海内外华人是不明智的。

        美国之音标题:美幼童“杀死中国人”话引轩然大波,ABC遭中方抨击。并指出在美国人人享有言论自由,华人群可以上街游行而无须政府批准,美国电视台也可以随意播放节目。。。。

        李春燕大姐之后继续推动华人权益, 和赵宇空等创办了美国亚裔教育联盟(AACE),联合Student for Fair Admission (SFFA) 以及六十多个亚裔社团,从2015开始指控哈佛大学歧视亚裔,对不同族裔使用不同录取标准和种族配额。2019年10月,法官Allison D. Burroughs裁定哈佛招生政策没有歧视亚裔。

        通宝推:燕人,
        • 家园 我认为这个结果可以接受

          华人在美国人口比例太低。坚持政治正确。一步步来。

          顺口说一句。华人挺川的失去了华人在美生存的大方向。不理解为何很多博士教授类高知们也挺川。

        • 家园 没有大炮的轰鸣背书,则言论的轰鸣毫无意义
          • 家园 言以载道

            笔杆子固然替代不了枪杆子,枪杆子替代不了笔杆子。我们学习前人的智慧,不就是记录下来的前人所思所言所写所为么。什么时候都不应放弃发文发声,这个方面,公知们做得很好。

            文科重要不?其实是很重要的。

            • 家园 主流舆论是下一步行动的先导,是促成民意的工具。
