Chinese Americans Protest across the US over Jimmy Kimmel’s “Kill Chinese” Skit

This article stated a fact claim that thousands of Chinese rallied in 27 cities in the United States to protest the recent comments about killing Chinese people on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show. As evidences of the claim, Kimmel behaved a perceived anti-Chinese skit, in which he asked “Should we allow the Chinese to live?” and responded “interesting” to the child actor’s statement of "kill everyone in China" in order to resolve the 1.5 trillion U.S. national debt. His remarks followed hundreds of protesters outside the ABC headquarters in Burbank to call for Kimmel to be fired. 100,000 signatures were also gathered to call for a petition to the White House to investigate the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show on the grounds of offensive content. The incident was organized by the Roundtable of Chinese-American Organizations, a small California-based outfit. This article used argument of analogy to state that this is the largest parade held by the Chinese community in the U.S., by comparing it with the last Chinese parade before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, when the CNN commentator Jack Cafferty labeled Chinese leaders "goons" and "thugs". As rebuttals, this article mentioned that both ABC and Kimmel have apologized for the episode. However, chairman of the Roundtable of Chinese American Organization responded that they wanted a formal apology from ABC not just to the groups protesting, but to all Chinese people around the world.
