NEW YORK (Dec. 14) -- Rosie O'Donnell says she's sorry for mocking spoken Chinese on "The View," but an association that represents journalists from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds, including Chinese American, says it wasn't enough.


Another Week, Another 'View' Scandal


Cooler Poetry: "A brief msg to Rosie O"
In a Dec. 5 segment, O'Donnell joked about how Danny DeVito's recent - and seemingly drunken - appearance on the ABC daytime talk show had become international news.

"You know, you can imagine in China it's like `ching chong, ching chong chong, Danny DeVito, ching chong chong chong, drunk, "The View," ching chong,"' the 44-year-old comedian said.

On Thursday's show, she told the audience: "To say ching chong to someone is very offensive, and some Asian people have told me it's as bad as the n-word. Which I was like, `Really? I didn't know that."'

Karen Lincoln Michel, president-elect of Unity: Journalists of Color Inc., said O'Donnell's remarks "really didn't sound like an apology to me."

Lincoln Michel said Unity was waiting for Barbara Walters, who created the show, to respond to a letter asking her to publicly acknowledge that O'Donnell's remarks were "patently offensive."


"I think by allowing Rosie O'Donnell's cheap jabs at Chinese Americans to go unchecked, then the network is essentially condoning racial and ethnic slurs," Lincoln Michel told the AP in a phone interview.

Unity said it represents more than 10,000 journalists nationwide.

"You know it was never (my) intent to mock," O'Donnell said on Thursday's show, "and I'm sorry for those people who felt hurt or were teased on the playground."

"But I'm also gonna give you a fair warning that there's a good chance I'll do something like that again, probably in the next week - not on purpose. Only 'cause it's how my brain works."

O'Donnell characterized her accent as "Chinese, Asian, pseudo-Japanese, sounded a little Yiddish .

Holy crap, people.  Pull the stick out of your ass.  Everybody does this shit.  She didn't say anything fucking offensive.  I weep.

On the link there's the clip of what is so controversial.

Is this any worse than what I'm sure Chinese and other Asian nations do when mocking what Americans sound like back east?  They probably say something like

You're distinguished mentally-challenged.

"Rosie O'Donnel is a fat dyke."

If an Asian person said that, despite their intentions, Rosie would have the whole gay coalition all up in their narrow, nonexistent ass.

What she said was extremely offensive to the Asian community. She was right to apologize even though she didn't intend to hurt anyone. However, she was wrong for repeatedly stating that she's going to be doing more shitty accents in the future. I cringe at the thought, though I find solace in the fact that I've never seen The View apart from the clips online where they're doing or saying something extremely offensive. What a bunch of whithered, wrinkled, cackling crones.

Asian people make fun of white people because they, "have no morals".  Other than that Americans are highly regarded and put on a pedastle.  Even I was treated like royalty when I was in Asia.  If anything we're made fun of because of our ignorance.




Also they think white people are distinguished mentally-challenged.

It's so stupid to get mad over shit like that.  I could see how it would have been offensive if she used her hands to stretch your eyes and stuck our her buck teeth

[PhoenixWright]

They think that was super-offensive? They must post on GAF. 

[Raguel]

It was offensive to me because she wasn't very funny. Now dave chappelle's shit is funny.

[Mupepe]

I find Rosie offensive in general.  Her antics were not offensive though.

[Raguel]

Her face is very offensive and so is her voice. It makes my eyes and ears bleed. Actually...i don't find women comedians to be very funny. I'm trying to think of a funny woman comedian but i'm drawing a blank.

CHING CHONG CHING CHING CHING CHONG

  People are stupid.

Rosie's now one of my favorite people.

Also they think white people are distinguished mentally-challenged.

One day, myself and my Caucasian brothers and sisters will make the world recognize this horrible stereotype as false.  Until then, be strong my friends.
