A Statement from 80-20 National Asian Am. Educational Foundation, Inc.
“The Chinese are the single biggest threat to the national security of the U.S.,” a talking head on FOX TV said 4 days ago. They have been, they will be and they can wait, they’re very patient. Do you know what we just did? As usual, we bring them over here and we teach a bunch of Chinamen — er, Chinese people — how to do computers and then they go back to China and hack into us.”
Click here to hear the above statement, see his hateful gesture,and decide for yourself, whether he used the word Chinaman by accident, or was just baiting us. It is the worst racist statementI’ve ever heard, not just the use of “Chinaman.” He actually accusedthe Chinese people worldwide as the “single biggest threat to thenational security of the US.” Is he trying to inflame a race war? How can Fox TV afford to employ such a talking head?
Will such statements on TV hurt the mental health & physical safety of your family members? How about your career if you are
aiming for a management position?
aiming for a management position?
This talking head on FOX TV didn’t specifically say anything bad about Chinese Ams or Asian Ams, but will this kind of racist xenophobia spillover to hurt you and your family? You bet!
Remember that Vincent Chin, a Chinese Am., was killed by two unemployed Detroit autoworkers with a baseball bat, because he was taken to be a Japanese. Remember this famous message,credited to Paster Niemoller who faced extremism in pre-WWII Germany:
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because Iwas not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionist, and I didnot speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came forthe Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me.“
Concerned? You should. Speak up & act NOW!
