不滿辱華言論 白宮網站請願獲足夠支持
A petition on calling for President Barack Obama to investigate comedian Jimmy Kimmel has passed the threshold of support required to get an official response from the White House. Kimmel had aired a skit on his show in which a young child suggested killing everyone in China. Kimmel later apologized for the segment and so did ABC, the network that airs 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' but the petition has nonetheless drawn 101,768 signatures. Now that the petition has crossed the 100,000 mark, the White House is expected to review the filing and issue some sort of public response. The White House responds to petitions that gather enough support to pass the 100,000 mark.
有人在白宮網站()發起請願，要求美國總統奧巴馬(Barack Obama)調查喜劇演員吉米?基梅爾(Jimmy Kimmel)。這個請願行動獲得的支持已經超過了獲得白宮方面官方迴應所需的最低限度。在基梅爾主持的節目《吉米?基梅爾現場秀》(Jimmy Kimmel Live)中，一個小孩建議殺光所有中國人。基梅爾和播出該節目的美國廣播公司(ABC)後來都爲這一言論致歉，但上述請願活動仍徵集到101,768個簽名。由於請願活動的簽名人數超過了10萬個，白宮方面預計將會審查相關情況並做出某種形式的公開回應。對於那些支持者超過10萬人的請願活動，白宮將予以迴應。The petition -filed under the category 'Human Rights' on the We the People website- states that 'I was very disturbed by Jimmy Kimmel's 'Kids Table' show. It was aired on ABC recently and talked about killing all the Chinese so that the states do not need to pay back their debts to China. The kids might not know anything better. However, Jimmy Kimmel and ABC's management are adults. They had a choice not to air this racist program, which promotes racial hatred.' The document goes on to say 'The program is totally unacceptable and it must be cut. A sincere apology must be issued. It is extremely distasteful and this is the same rhetoric used in Nazi Germany against Jewish people. Please immediately cut the show and issue a formal apology.'
在白宮的“我們人民”(We the People)網站“人權”(Human Rights)類目下發起的這個請願說：我對於吉米?基梅爾的“兒童圓桌會議”(Kid’s Table)節目非常不安。該節目不久前在ABC播出，談到了殺光所有中國人以便美國政府無需償還欠中國的債務。孩子或許是出於無知。但吉米?基梅爾和ABC的管理人員都是成年人。他們可以選擇不播出這一宣揚種族仇恨的種族主義節目。請願書還說，這個節目完全不可接受，必須取消。相關方面必須真誠道歉。這種言論極度令人不快，是納粹德國曾對猶太人用過的說法。請立即取消該節目並正式道歉。A representative for Kimmel didn't respond to a request for a comment.
基梅爾的代理人沒有立即回覆置評請求。
