如果说华人的街头抗议给予了ABC巨大的压力的话,体制内的力量也给予ABC很大推动。加州第17选区的本田和第27选区的联邦众议员赵美心致信ABC抗议,日裔众议员本田的信写得极为掷地有声:“The ABC network recently allowed comedian Jimmy Kimmel to air a skit in which a group of children suggested that "we kill everyone in China" to avoid paying back the national debt. Some things are funny, but racial hatred is not one of them. These statements, left unchecked, promote intolerance, and I am concerned that the producers of Mr. Kimmel's program allowed this to air. Children may not know better, but producers and ABC's management should.”
