Female babies in china are still regularly killed because male children are more desirable. Thousands of children go to bed hungry every night, there are a million children in the foster care system in the united states awaiting adoption, up to one third of our population does not have adequate medical care, ten percent of children that graduate from high school are illiterate, one in four black men will be incarcerated before they are twenty five years old, we are waging wars in other countries that are killing innocent children, 3,000 people died on september 11th because we can't find a way to coexist peacefully with each other.

And you are worried about how asians are portrayed on a television show, on FOX? That is about as assinine as me being upset because shows like Joe millionaire make woman look like bimbo's. People like you who run around writing protests demanding equal treatment in areas that don't matter only contribute to the division in this society. When every child in the world has a roof over their head and food in the stomachs then maybe i'll worry about whether or not all races are getting equal coverage on insignificant stupid television shows. For now I'd rather spend my efforts on causes that matter.

Before you lash back with a comment about how I am a racist, that is certainly not my intent. I abhor discrimination on all levels, but this kind of petty squabbling is not the way to solve the problem. Until we fix the problems in society that exist at the most basic levels we are never going to fix the grand problems like how to all get along. I learned in kindergarten life isn't fair, sometimes the kid in the chair next to me got to eat all the paste before I had my turn, but you learn to suck it up and move on and deal with the issues that matter.

>October 30, 2003

>Dear Robert C Wright, President of
>NBC:
>
>I am writing to express my
>concern about the negative portrayal
>of Asians on your new
>TV reality show Average Joe
>in which physically unattractive men
>compete for the hand of
>a beautiful woman. Two
>of the twelve are of
>Asian heritage: Tareq and Dennis
>S.
>
>While no prime time reality show
>to date has featured Asian
>men at all, it seems
>particularly negligent on your network's
>part to feature Asian men
>finally--but to propagate the destructive
>stereotype of Asian men as
>being somehow sexually undesirable.
>
>According to the most recent Census,
>Asian Americans are the fastest
>growing ethnic minority group in
>the United States, yet there
>still isn't a single prominent
>Asian character on prime time.
> The ones that do
>show up from time-to-time are
>usually fresh-off-the-boat, brainiac nerd characters
>whose actions invoke pitiful laughter
>rather than empathy.
>
>Certainly, your network's ER has attempted
>to include Asians, but as
>female doctors, these characters are
>neither original nor groundbreaking.
>Your network must feel this
>is what remains most palatable
>to the American public, and
>this must be the explanation
>for why the only ethnic
>minority group you chose to
>portray as unattractive in Average
>Joe is Asian.
>
>I am deeply offended by the
>venue in which you have
>selected to show Asian males
>on TV. By broadcasting
>Average Joe you turn a
>blind eye to the multi-culturalism
>that is America today.

>Sincerely yours,
