I watched the segment and while in poor taste I don't see any reason to fire Kimmel or even get worked up much other this. He clearly is incredulous at what the kids are saying and is playing the straight man to the kids comments. For anyone taking this seriously as hate speech on the part of Kimmel or the kids consider that the kids give contradictory answers on whether people should be forced to pay back money.
These are 5 year olds and anyone who has spent time around 5 year olds know they say crazy stuff including shooting and killing people. It's not that they are necessarily violent and racist but that they don't know any better and are exposed to violence in the media. They really have no concept of the implications of what they are saying. It is clear from Kimmel's body language that he isn't condoning this or approving it.
For the record I am ethnically Chinese and travel to China frequently for business and family. Also I've criticized before media and other figures using racist language and stereotypes. For example Shaq going "Ching Chong Chung". It is one thing for a 5 year old to do something like that but Shaq is an adult. Also what is far more potentially damaging was this ad which is deliberately playing on paranoia for political gain.
The Kimmel bit is comedy and even more so is literally showing how childish such attitudes are.
Finally to the poster who said that comedians or a television network wouldn't do something like this if it was about killing caucasians this is from SNL.
这个ABC事件刚开始的时候，你就已经把你自己的观点说过很多遍了，记得你和hci枪友争论了不下十几个回合。You already have made your point. 但在这个版上，同意你的观点的人只有那么寥寥几个，绝大多数的人不同意你的观点。归纳一下就是：1.你已经充分阐述了你的观点，2，这儿的大多数人不同意你的观点。在这种情况下，你三番五次的继续发表/转载那些冷嘲热讽和你观点不一致的枪友的文章，又是为了什么目的：认为你可以/有资格教育大家？那是不是有点太自以为是？或者说你不管他人怎么反感你的言论，你就是要对着他人不停的说，那是不是有点不识趣？
中午趁吃饭的时间和单位的另一个小伙子去了休斯顿抗议现场（顺便上一现场图片），去的晚，红T-恤没了，拿了一宣传单举胸前。这是自己人生中的第一次参加游行抗议。
昨晚还在犹豫去不去，总觉得多一个自己不多，少一个自己不少，但每次想起美国人爱说的“YOU MAKE DIFFERENCE”还是去了。没有权利评论别人的做法，我只代表自己的看法。
