    Chinese protest against the rhetoric of racial discrimination of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in New York, Nov. 9, 2013.

    The American ABC Network Sunday made an open apology over "killing all Chinese" talk show.

    As the American Chinese continued their protests over the offensive show, ABC published an "Open apology" declaration and promised not to let it happen again by strict censor.

    ABC admitted its mistake in airing the talk show and promised to permanently delete all related content and cancel the "Kids table" talk show.

    In "Jimmy Kimmel Live" aired on October 16, Jimmy Kimmel asked the kids about what to do with the huge debt owing to China. One boy replied, "Kill everyone in China." Jimmy commented that it was "an interesting idea."

    Analysts said Jimmy Kimmel was wrong for not stopping the comment and for failing to explain to the kids that it was not the right notion.

    The program sparked indignation and protests from the Chinese communities.

    Protests swept many cities, including New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, demanding a formal apology from ABC and Kimmel's dismissal.
