Late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel buried the hatchet with Kanye West after he
aired a clip poking fun at the rapper. Now, another Kimmel clip has sparked
some criticism, angering several thousand people. A video that aired last
week has gone viral in China and also among Chinese-Americans after one of
the children Kimmel was speaking to said the U.S. should “kill everyone in
China.”
During the skit, Kimmel sat down with four 6- and 7-year old children in a
segment called “Kid’s Table” to get their take on American politics. In
reference to the recent government shutdown, two of the children understood
it as the closure of the country’s national parks. The conversation moved
toward the $1.3 trillion U.S. debt owed to China, when Kimmel asked the
children what they think an appropriate solution would be. One child
suggested that the U.S. build a huge wall so that Chinese wouldn’t be able
to come and collect, and while another suggested eliminating the debt by
killing the Chinese.
Now, Kimmel’s show is under attack by many who feel the outrageous comment
should have never made it to air. The YouTube clip of the segment has been
receiving several comments in Chinese and English with some people
denouncing the remarks, while others defended the satirical segment. |
