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,

【快讯】马斯克输了!联邦法院驳回其对OpenAI诉讼:告得太晚了

美国加州奥克兰联邦法院于5月18日驳回了埃隆·马斯克对人工智能公司OpenAI及其首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼和总裁格雷格·布罗克曼提起的诉讼。为期三周的庭审后,由九人组成的陪审团在不到两小时内做出一致裁决,认定马斯克在2024年提起诉讼时,已超过了法定的诉讼时效。马斯克曾是OpenAI的联合创始人,他指控该公司背弃了其作为非营利组织、致力于人工智能造福人类的初衷,并在他不知情的情况下转向了盈利模式。OpenAI及其高管则辩称,公司从未承诺永久保持非营利性质,并认为马斯克提起诉讼是为了争夺控制权并推广其竞争对手xAI。法官伊冯娜·冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯接受了陪审团的咨询裁决,正式驳回了马斯克的所有诉讼请求。马斯克对此裁决表示不满,称其为“技术性驳回”,并誓言将继续上诉。
