Jimmy Kimmel and the kids

I was sitting in the doctor's office and CNN was on, so I watched the story of comedian Jimmy Kimmel allowing a kid to say that the solution to the debt problem with China was to kill the Chinese. So then came the "I'm sorry if anyone was offended" apology from Kimmel and ABC, but that's not enough. There are calls for his firing. Really? "Comedians" call for the death of Tea Party members and Republicans, and no one is fired and they label anyone who doesn't like Obama's policies a racist, a homophobe and a misogynist.

Then the news show brought on a Chinese American who felt compelled to review America's record with minorities, like how Asians were treated in the 19th and 20th century. From her accent, I guessed she was born in China, but was probably forced to give up her native language of Cantonese or one of the Wu language groups and flee for her life when Mao was killing 70 million or so of his own citizens. If China is upset, tough.
