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,

特朗普威胁若无DHS资金协议将部署ICE特工至机场

前总统唐纳德·特朗普于周六威胁称,如果民主党人未能就加强安全和移民执法措施达成协议,他将从周一开始部署移民和海关执法局(ICE)特工至全美机场。此举发生在国土安全部(DHS)资金僵局持续数周、国会未能就拨款法案达成一致的背景下。特朗普在Truth Social上发帖表示,ICE特工将提供“前所未有的安保”,包括“立即逮捕所有非法移民”。民主党人则要求对ICE的行动进行改革,包括改进联邦执法人员身份识别和收紧搜查令规定。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩警告说,如果谈判小组不能迅速找到解决方案,“情况将变得越来越糟”。
