ABC“正式道歉”了,算是给赵美心公开信和朱感生征集签名准备与ABC交涉提出的要求都“有了交待”,这是ABC的一石三鸟之计。把H.Z.请愿、赵美心公开信和朱感生准备的交涉都瞒过去了。因为这三个要求都太宽宏大量了。这有如ABC碰倒了华裔的房子,这三个要求都是要求正式道歉并保证遗以后不再碰倒华裔的房子。一个不过份的要求就是把碰倒的房子修回好,这个要求没有提出来。三个要求都太宽宏大量了,不料宽宏大量还碰上小人,小人继续耍手段搪塞兼开涮。鸡毛言论有歧视华人的社会效应,ABC就有责任重新树立华裔在美国社会的正面象形,碰倒了房子就应该把房子修回好。ABC碰得我们房子漏雨了,一声道歉拍拍屁股就走人了,让我们从此住漏雨的房子,我们不甘心。这和李文华案一样,damage made,without undo the damage。李文华平反了,华裔就业市场受损没有得到恢复。
“We offer our sincere apology. We would never purposefully broadcast anything to upset the Chinese community, Asian community, anyone of Chinese descent or any community at large. Our objective is to entertain. We took swift action to minimize the distribution of the skit by removing it from all public platforms available to us and editing it out of any future airings of the show. We hope our actions and our apology effectively address your concerns. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”
你相信我能读懂,我也以为我读懂了,我也以为ABC道歉了。不过后来我看到一个美国人的评论:
That was not an apology at all. An apology is you admit you did something wrong and ask for forgiveness. Just saying: "I am sorry if I offended anyone " is not an apology at all. It is a passive aggressive attack saying his critics are overly sensitive. Its like saying "I am sorry you feel that way. " His, and ABCs, statement needed to be candid, contrite and admit wrong doing. This "apology" was NONE of these things.
