A Draft Letter to Sponsors & Advertisers of Bob Beckel's 'The Five' Program

On Thursday, July 10, 2014 Fox news host Bob Beckel set off another firestorm by using a racial slur in a rant about China and Chinese people on "The Five", a television program sponsored by your company.

"The Chinese are the single biggest threat to the national security of the U.S.," Mr. Beckel said. "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."

After much initial protest, on the following Monday, July 14, 2014 Beckel sort of apologized for his use of the term "Chinamen" but he does not apologize for things "I've said about China and won't go into the litany of it now..."

Evidently, this is not the first time he used the term "Chinamen", he has used that term before. There was the time he said that his eyes looked "Oriental" after he went swimming. The website BuzzFeed politics listed six worst derogatory cultural observations made by Bob Beckel (http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/the-6-worst-cultural-observations-made-by-fox-news-host-bob).

His statement on July 10 tainted all Chinese people (loyal American citizens or not) by insinuating that after we learned computer skills in America we then go back to China to hack into American businesses and government.

Mr. Ted Lieu, a Chinese American Democrat California Senator and a US Congressional candidate called Beckel remarks 'racist' and 'xenophobic'. Ted observed “I am one of those ‘Chinamen’ with ‘Oriental’ eyes that immigrated to America and majored in computer science. I also served on active duty in the United States Air Force and continue to serve my country in the Reserves"..... "We should all be alarmed by the racist, xenophobic comments by Bob Beckel. His comments have no place in America. He must resign immediately." We concur with Ted and we join California Congressman Mike Honda in asking Fox news to fire Bob Beckel immediately.

As a responsible company doing business in the international arena and as a sponsor of the Fox news "The Five" program, we are holding your organization responsible in ensuring Chinese and other ethnic groups are not singled out for insensitive and racially charged stereotypical remarks such as those repeatedly made by Mr. Beckel.

Please exercise your duties and rights to ensure that diversity and its values are not compromised by any broadcast program your company sponsor.

Sincerely,

特朗普提议斥资1.52亿美元重开恶魔岛监狱引争议

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在其2027财年预算提案中,寻求拨款1.52亿美元,旨在将曾是美国最臭名昭著的恶魔岛监狱重建为“最先进的安全监狱设施”。这一位于旧金山金门大桥附近的提议,旨在用于关押“美国最凶残和暴力的罪犯”,并被特朗普视为“法律、秩序和正义的象征”。然而,该计划在加州政界引发强烈质疑,包括前众议院议长南希·佩洛西和州长加文·纽森在内的多位官员,批评其为“荒谬”、“愚蠢”且“财政上极度糟糕的提议”,指出其可能浪费纳税人资金,并面临运营挑战,如岛上缺乏基本水电设施和高昂的运输成本。目前作为旅游景点的恶魔岛每年能带来6000万美元收入,重建将导致这一标志性地标的损失。该提议尚需美国国会批准。
