CNN主持人和旧金山市议员发辱华言论 华人网上签名征讨



2008-04-12 05:28 中国新闻网

北京奥运圣火在旧金山安全传递后，又在阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯圆满完成传递。就在此时，CNN主持人卡佛提辱骂华人是“呆子和暴徒”以及旧金山市议员戴利“中国政府出钱雇人”的不实言论，激起了旧金山华人社区的愤怒。一个谴责卡佛提和CNN并要求正式道歉的网上签名活动正在迅速展开，要求戴利下台的呼声也正在发出。

当地时间九日下午，北京奥运圣火在旧金山传递时，CNN进行全程追踪报道。主持人卡佛提在谈论中美关系时使用侮辱性的语言称中国人是“一群五十年不变的呆子和暴徒。”

一份要求CNN道歉的请愿信目前正在网上开始征集签名。截至记者发稿时，已有八千人签名并留言，谴责卡佛提和CNN对华人根深蒂固的偏见和恶意。旧金山湾区留学生热门网站“未名空间”也有网友发出呼吁，杯葛CNN，向卡佛提节目的广告商发信，停止提供广告。

曾经提出议案要求谴责中国人权的旧金山市议员戴利日前对《星岛日报》记者说，中国政府出钱雇人，组织大巴迎圣火。问及如何得知，戴利说是听说的。

戴利的言论在旧金山华人社区激起公愤。一位社区人士指出，戴利的选区田德隆是旧金山出名的“问题区”，那里充斥着色情、暴力和毒品。作为民选官员，戴利在其位不谋其职，应该下台。

市长纽森和警察局长方宇文日前会见媒体时表示，造成旧金山圣火传递路线临时改道的主要原因，就是戴利组织人在圣火经过的大街上拦截并破坏巴士。

[size=+1]To:  CNN and Situation Room

We are truly stunned and shocked by a recent racist and hatred remark on the Chinese people by your news commentator Jack Cafferty. In Situation Room aired on April 9th, Cafferty charged the Chinese people with a highly despicable assault by saying, "They (Chinese) are basically the same bunch goons and thugs they have been in the past fifty years." (http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0804/09/sitroom.03.html)

It's not common to witness such a blatant discrimination against an ethnic group of people with such a derogatory connotation in a national TV program. We believe his remark clearly exposed his hatred and bigotry against Chinese people as a whole. Without doubt, many people feel hurt, especially, the Chinese people, by this shameless assault.

Cafferty's hatred speech has been recorded and uploaded to Youtube. So far the click rate is approaching ten thousand. People from around the world have left comments condemning his vile remark.

As a leading organization of legal immigrants mainly comprised of people from China, we strongly condemn Jack Cafferty's racist remarks and urge CNN to take immediate action against him. We also demand an official apology from CNN to all Chinese people. We would reserve our right to take further actions on this matter.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
