事件起因

美国节目《吉米鸡毛秀》请来一群小朋友召开“儿童圆桌会议”，当问到美国欠中国的1.3万亿美元该怎么还时，小朋友语出惊人：“我们绕到地球那一边去，把中国人都干掉，这样我们就不用还债了！

华人示威要求ABC对辱华言论公歉

事件进展

中新网2013年11月11日电 据新华社新国际新闻微博“新国际”消息,由于美国华侨华人连日来的不间断抗议，美国广播公司(ABC)10日称：针对10月该台播出带有辱华色彩的言论发布“公开道歉”声明，承诺加强审查，今后杜绝类似事件。ABC在声明中承认了错误，承诺将永久清除该内容，永久取消“儿童圆桌会”节目环节。

10月16日，美国广播公司(ABC)深夜脱口秀节目“儿童圆桌会议”环节中，一名儿童说“要杀光中国人”。主持人基梅尔没有反驳此观点，反而进行调侃。

24日，这一期节目已在ABC官网上悄然下线。事件发生后，超过1.5万人在白宫网站上发起请愿要求删除这一助长种族仇恨的节目。

虽然美国广播公司高管就脱口秀节目“杀光中国人”言论发布了口头和书面致歉，但部分人士认为，ABC的道歉不够公开，显示其诚意不足，华人难以接受。

上百名华裔民众28日在ABC电视台大楼前抗议游行，他们要求ABC正式道歉，并解雇主持人基梅尔。基梅尔当天在节目中道歉。南加州地区许多民众也在“吉米·基梅尔秀”演播厅前抗议。在民众的压力下，基梅尔走出演播厅，向现场抗议民众双手合十鞠躬道歉。

11月9日，全美27个城市华侨华人游行示威，再次抗议基梅尔辱华言论。要求ABC高层举行新闻发布会正式对华人认错，保证下不为例，并对基梅尔给予惩罚。

ABC Television Network

Statement on behalf of ABC Entertainment and Jimmy Kimmel Live!

On behalf of everyone at Jimmy Kimmel Live and ABC, please accept our heartfelt, sincere apology for the airing of the “Kids Table” segment of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on October 16, 2013.

The simple fact is, the segment should never have been broadcast. Systems we have in place for these types of things did not function properly, and steps have been made to try and prevent this kind of egregious mistake from occurring in the future.

We have strengthened our review process and several new safeguards have been put in place to both our Broadcast Standards & Practices and Entertainment Programming areas to ensure that segments like this are immediately brought to the attention of appropriate senior executives who can address them appropriately.

We have also done everything in our power to ensure that the segment receives no further exposure. We issued a written apology, the offending skit has been edited out of any future broadcast of that episode; we have taken down the clip from all of our online platforms; and the show has decided to forego any future segments of “Kids Table.”
