Burbank police said they responded to the protest in the
2300 block of Riverside Drive after some demonstrators were rallying in a
restricted area. Still, police said the protest was peaceful and no one was
arrested.
The protest was part of a nationwide move backed by
Chinese-American organizations against the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” recurring
segment called “Kids' Table.” Similar protests were planned for Saturday at ABC
studios nationwide.
In the Oct. 16 segment,
Kimmel has a roundtable discussion with a group of children about the
United States’ $1.3-trillion debt to China.
He asked them how the United States should repay its debt,
which prompted one child to respond by saying “kill everyone in China.” Kimmel
later engaged the children again with a debate about killing the Chinese people
and allowing them to live.
