Hi,
You may have heard of this. Unfortunately, another disgusting thing happened again. This time
is form Fox, "The Five" show by Robert Bechel.
We have to think and ask why? We also have to think how to prevent these things from
happening again?
80-20, the nation's largest Asian Am group, is acting quickly. They compare this incidence to the
Clipper's former owner Sterling case. They're calling the firing of Robert Beckel from Fox News.
Please read the attached email and support the 80-20 to fight for us. You can also join 80-20 or
donate to SELF fund of 80-20. You can also subscribe email notice directly from 80-20 at their
website.
I personally sent an letter to Fox's president, following the suggestion of 80-20. I attached here
for your quick reference in case you want to do the same.
Thanks,
Yun

Dear Mr. Roger Alies,
I watched the "Five" stream of Bob Beckel on 7/10/2014. I was shocked and astonished
to hear the most racist statement publicly spoken on a national TV. He blankly stated
"The Chinese are the single biggest threat to the national security of the US" and use a
racial world to describe Chinese. I'm disgusted and outraged to hear this from a
supposedly well educated person employed by a reputable TV network. His view and
his behavior is offensive and sickening to all people with common civic
etiquette. Clipper's former owner Sterling did similar thing in private and got barred for
life from NBA.
Here I respectfully request you to fire Bob Beckel for the sake of ethnic harmony and
your own reputation. If you do, I’ll remember and respect you for it. If you don’t, I’ll stop
watching FOX & choose CNN and others instead.
Sincerely,
Yun Zou

A Strong Press Release
(7/22/2014) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Contact person: S. B. Woo 302-366-0259
Subject: Why the U.S. Media Treats Sterling & Beckel so Differently?
80-20 PAC, by far the largest Asian Am. political action committee, announced
today that it shall unite with all organizations, elected officials and individuals to
help achieve the goal of getting Robert Beckel fired by Fox. Beckel stated on
Fox TV “The Five” on 7/10/2014:
“The Chinese are the single biggest threat to the national
security of the U.S.,” and used a “C word”.
Click here to hear his racist, xenophobic statement, expressed with such hateful
body language and hand gestures. He seems bent on inciting a race war against
the Chinese people.
Just several months ago, ABC reviewed a taped Jimmy Kimmel segment during
which a kid blurted out “kill all Chinese” and let it air? Will ABC do the same, if
the word “Chinese” was replaced by Blacks or Jews? Now Beckel, as a news
analyst, publicly stated the above.
The Chinese American community is determined to stop such statements against
us, once and for all. Otherwise, we’ll be like the Jews in Nazi Germany who
eventually faced a very hostile home community.
S. B. Woo, 80-20 President & former Lt. Governor of Delaware says, “We are fully
aware that the U.S. is not Nazi Germany. On the other hand, if such statements
can come against us again and again without severe repercussions to the
offender, then the Chinese- and perhaps East-Asian-Americans will suffer
psychologically, physically and career wise.”
Clipper's owner Donald Sterling was banned from NBA for life and forced to sell
the team for his racial slur against blacks in a private conversation.
In comparison, Beckel called all people of Chinese descent “the single biggest
threat to the national security of the US” and used a “C word” in a public
broadcast! ” Why is our media so quiet on Beckel?” Woo asks. “Where are the
Asian Am. journalists, for heaven’s sake?” [meaning those who work in the mainstream
media. Added by SB Woo]
People of Chinese descent worldwide are watching how fair the media in U.S.A. is.
Is the U. S. media using double standard for different races? (The end)
-------------How 80-20’s Call to Action & Press Release made a Difference!
The community has really responded. Thanks to them, the following has occurred
1) The MSN poll on whether Bob Beckel should resign was losing by a 30% to 40% 2
nights ago. This morning it is leading by 59% to 26%.

2) After the press release, CNN got in touch with S. B. Woo.
3) Chinese American residing in China have already gotten in touch with S.B.
They are also reaching out to Chinese-Ams in Hong Kong and Macau. All
of you can help reach people of Chinese descent internationally.
Help make this ugly anti-Chinese broadcast known INTERNATIONALLY.
What else YOU can do!
