Jimmy Kimmel's satire -- unfortunately this spoke the true underlying racial resentment fanned by politicians to every Chinese and Chinese American

Since Disney/ABC took the original video offline, the unabridged version can only be found in websites in China.

[Jimmy] Welcome to kids table. This is our table. There are our kids. Today's topic, politics.
...
[Jimmy] American owes China a lot of money, 1.3 trillion dollars. How should we pay them back?
[Brayden] Shoot cannons all the way over and kill everyone in China.
[Jimmy] Kill everyone in China? Okay! That's an interesting idea. Yes [signal Braxton's turn to speak]
[Braxton] Build a huge wall so that they cannot come to us.
[Jimmy] You say build a wall in China, a huge great kind of wall? That will never happen.
[Jimmy] Now, when you owe someone money, should you pay them back?
[Ali] Never!
[Jimmy] But then they won't lend you money any more.
[Ali] Oh... that's a problem!
[Jimmy] Should we be forced to pay our own debts?
[Kids] Yes!
[Jimmy] But you just said kill everyone in China? [All laugh] Should we allow the Chinese to live?
[Kids ] Yeah! No! 
[Eva] But if we don't allow them to live, they will try to kill us.
[Kids ] But they will be killed. Yeah, they will all be killed. We kill them, they  play with us.
[Jimmy] But if we killed all the Chinese, they are not going to lend us money anymore.
[Jimmy] This has been an interesting edition of Kids Table: The Lord of the Flies edition.
[Jimmy] I'd like to thanks for our correspondents, Brayden, Eva, Braxton, Ali. You've been wonderful. Let's take a gummy break. Shall we?
[Kids] Yeah!

After getting the chance of reviewing it again and again, it is clearly a comedy. Jimmy Kimmel probably doesn't have the painful insight and experiences from the ones being discriminated. Disney/ABC editorial also thought it is entertaining rather than offensive. He probably won't do this show if he has the experience of another angle (substituting Chinese or American Chinese for African American and change espionage allegations to robbery suspicions):


"I think it's important to recognize that the African- American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn't go away."

"There are very few African-American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me," he said.

"There are very few African-American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me, at least before I was a senator. There are very few African-Americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often."


The sad truth is, it is politically correct in United States politician circus show. People can think this is right rather than a satire on the absurdity. Taking out of context, this can lead to a lot of hate speech, furthering the stereotype and add the suspicion as well as resentment. Do we want to foster understanding, healthy copetition, or sow the seed for another World War?

Will Disney or Jimmy Kimmel be able to help bridge the gap between race and countries?
