广受美国华人社区关注的ABC脱口秀节目辱华风波有了新进展。作为华人社区集体抗议的第一个大动作，德州华人在白宫网站率先发起了要求美国政府调查ABC该期节目的请愿。截止今日（2013年11月6日），美国中部时间4:19pm，已经成功的征集到了99，859人签名。距离白宫承诺给予请愿正式回复的10万人大关仅有一步之遥。
从10月16日夜该期节目播出，到10月19日华人请愿书在白宫网站发布，美国华人不仅打破了惯常的沉默，更在本次事件一开始就展示出了不同于往常的坚定斗争意志。到今天，距离请愿发起不足20天的时间内，签名支持白宫请愿者人数超过10万。平均一天超过5000人签名加入请愿的速度，也充分体现了华人社群对此事件的整体态度。
在白宫网站发起请愿，通过华文网络媒体为平台发声、串联，利用社交媒体动员号召，这一系列初期的华人抗议活动都深深打上了新生代移民的烙印。新生代移民对美国社会不同于传统老侨的认知和行事观念的转变是推动华人社群打破沉默常态的重要因素之一。
而抗议的声浪绝不仅仅止于网络。纽约、洛杉矶、休斯敦等华人聚居的大城市随后也都纷纷举行了线下的集会活动，呼应白宫请愿诉求，并逐渐将之具体化为“ABC道歉，吉米金莫走人”。在这一轮线下集会活动中，新老侨界突破藩篱的协力合作是华人社群抗议示威取得阶段性成果的关键。
作为老侨团的80-20组织在争议声中公布了与ABC谈判后获得的首封道歉信。无论吴先标先生领导的80-20组织能否代表全体华人诉求而获得广泛承认，作为率先挺身而出的组织，其示范效应是不可否认的。相对于松散的网络社交媒体，老牌侨团完备的组织体系和运作章程无疑是给新生代移民的一次良好示范。
作为第一轮线下集会最大的亮点，休斯敦集会无论在组织秩序还是规模效果和民众参与度上来讲，都堪称全美最优。为什么华人人口远低于加州和纽约的休斯敦在第一轮集会中发动了最多的参与者？笔者以为，这与多家侨社老牌社团的支持与参与分不开的。他们参与了从人员动员，到募集捐款，再到与地方警局等相关机构沟通等一系列具体而繁杂的工作。他们完备的组织制度和执行力保障了网上你一言我一语的民情民声与线下组织有序的集会运动对接。
本周六，全美各地的同步游行将把华人的本次抗议示威推向新的高潮。全美将有包括华盛顿、旧金山、洛杉矶、纽约、休斯敦、达拉斯、奥斯汀、芝加哥、迈阿密、西雅图、波士顿、新奥尔良等至少18大主要城市的上万名华人参与本次集会。
诚然，每一个华人对这一事件的看法和诉求都不一而同。有人不会赞成坚持吉米金莫辞职的诉求，有的人甚至处于种种顾虑会反对游行集会。在这个高举自由旗帜的国度，一千个人本就可以有一千种态度。但是，相信对于所有在血统上定义自己为“Chinese”的个体，在诉求上都能认同一个最大公约数，即捍卫我们族裔的尊严与生存空间。这也是本次预计规模超过万人的集会被许多华人寄予厚望的原因所在。甚至有众多评论乐观的预言此次集会将成为美国华人民权运动的开端。
要实现捍卫族裔尊严与生存空间的诉求，所有的“Chinese”就必须抛弃彼此间的一切成见，诚挚合作，严密组织。华人争取平权的民权运动绝不能仅仅局限于社交网络和新生代精英或者某一个阶层、群体。它必须成为深入人心的理念与共识，播撒在每一个有华人的角落。只有围绕这个共同的根本诉求，各个华人社团才能求同存异，搁置利益纷争。唯有联手合作，作为美国社会少数族裔的华人才能实现力量最大化，利益最大化，让每一个人都切实受益。
在这样的理想之下，发动周六的全美万人游行已不再只是一场单纯针对ABC脱口秀的斗争。它成功与否也与吉米金莫是否最终辞职无关。
着眼于未来，我们必须首先实现一个目标：
从11月9日起，让“一个中国人一条龙，三个中国人一条虫”这句话永远成为历史！

美国广播电视公司(ABC)夜间脱口秀“吉米金莫直播秀”辱华言论引发海外华人强烈抗议，在We ThePeople网发起了请愿签名（We ThePeople的设立就是为了方便白宫与民众的互动，是一个政府了解民众呼声的平台，签名是政府鼓励的，最简单的，表达意见的途径），按照规定签名超过100，000，白宫必须正式回应，也许这种回应没有法律上的约束力，但其影响很大，毕竟是来自政府的声明，是政府相关政策的反映，必然会引起舆论和主流媒体关注，这对于我们反对种族歧视、抗议ABC和JK的诉求帮助会很大。
现在终于超过了10万个签名！大家用行动证明了海外华人不是一盘散沙！无论政府怎么回应，我们的维权活动都不应该停止！
接下来我们应该思考的是：怎么维权？
最近一段时间以来，美国各地华人都陆续有抗议游行，不过规模都不大，而且过于松散，ABC和JK面对华人抗议反反复复推卸责任，JK两度道歉，却绝口不提言论错误。在好莱坞那场抗议，吉米.金莫出来面对抗议的华人巧舌如簧，所谓的道歉不过是在打太极拳。看了现场录像，由于没有组织性，大家七嘴八舌的，诉求不明显，气场不够强大。当务之急，海外华人应该团结起来统一诉求，不要给人偷换概念说华人小题大做、没有幽默感，无法容忍几岁小孩的玩笑。应该让所有的人知道，我们针对的不是某个人，而是反对种族歧视、反对教孩子使用暴力（改节目所有的剧本都是事先写好录播，并不是孩子即兴所讲）。
全美来自洛杉矶、纽约/新泽西、旧金山、波士顿、西雅图、圣荷西、圣地亚哥、休斯顿、达拉斯、奥斯汀、芝加哥、华府、迈阿密、奥兰多、新奥尔良、丹佛、北卡罗来纳教堂山(ChapelHill)、夏洛特(Charlotte)等十八个城市的已敲定在11月9日同时举行万人大游行。除以上16个城市敲定参与，目前还有凤凰城、费城、圣路易、底特律、俄克拉何马城等多个城市正在酝酿中，预估全美抗议人数可能超过1万人，“规模会比2008年抗议CNN还要大，可能是美国立国200多年以来最大一次全美华人抗议活动”。呼吁大家都积极参与，让美国社会听到华人的声音！
海华华人的政治人物、民选领袖该怎样发挥作用？ 华人如果做出统一有力的维权？
希望大家集思广益
看看下面这段San Jose市长，在几天前华人抗议现场的讲话，或许对我们有些启发.
华人白宫请愿今日或破十万 周六万人同步游行
More than 300 people attended the protest against Disney ABC
TV Jimmy Kimmel "Kill ALL Chinese" 「殺光中國人」的驚人言論抗議 San
Jose City Hall on Nov 1 2013 attended by Kansen Chu, Councilmember, City of San
José Ash Kalra, Councilmember, City of San Jose; Rev. Jethroe Moore, NAACP -
San Jose/Silicon Valley Branch; Japanese American Citizens League and many
others.
I was glad to be here today... I would say I would be glad to be here today if I was here to celebrate with you the moon festival, I could say I would be glad to be here today if I was to celebrate the Chinese new years, but I have gather here today to deal with another racist practice of somebody on national television is a shame.
Lao Tzu said "Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment". And I am telling you it is time to respond to him intelligently even though he has acted unintelligently.
Anyone who has been in state of California should know something about the Chinese history - the exclusion of Chinese people, and the treatment that American, and Californian particularly have treated Chinese people. So for ABC and Jimmy Kimmel to allow this to go out on National Television, is a shame and a embarrassment not only to state of California, but to American as a whole.
A Chinese proverb says, "A man's conversation is the mirror of his thoughts". Jimmy, we know how you think, we know how you feel about people of color. That was displayed by this sensationalism in television you've used over the last month and half, one with Kanye West and a black thing going just a month and a half ago. So in order to keep his ratings, he used this cheap form of television in order to entertain some guest.
Teaching kids to hate has long been an American issue. Kids are not born to hate, they are taught how to hate. His show demonstrates how hatred got trained. With all the lately gun violence in the country, for him to talk about killing people, is a shame.
In this history of the exclusion in California, those of us that know about Peter Burnett, former governor here, who did not build California here for Chinese, Mexicans or Blacks. We are dismayed at this continued celebration of that type of rhetoric in California.
The kid segment should been cut and taken out or not even done at all. I stand with this community here in Santa Clara county, and throughout the state, to do whatever is necessary, to bring Jimmy Kimmel and ABC's production of television like that, that is disgraceful to America and to this country, off the air.
Again, there is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world, that is not intended to make us rejoice. Regardless nationality, ethnicity or creed, or sexuality you may be, we are all part of the same race, and that's the human race.
Everybody gets up in the morning, wanting their kids to have a safe day, want to go to work and come home and provide for their family, are the basic human needs. Every American citizen and any human being is entitled to that, so we stand against anybody who teaches hate or wants to produce any type of hatred that goes on the air, and that goes from Radio to Television and to the Internet.
And again, I stand with you, anything I can do, Kansen, my brother, just calling me, I am there.
