Yesterday (1/19), Turner Broadcaster Steve Kerr described Ming Yao as a
"7'6" China*man," during the Houston versus Memphis game. 80-20
induced a sincere apology within 3 hours.
(1) At 3:00 p.m. today （1/20）, 80-20 obtained concrete evidence that Steve
Kerr, a TNT broadcaster, described Ming Yao as a "7'6" China*man."
At 4:15 p.m., 80-20- staff Jing-Li Yu left words with the secretary of
TNT CEO, Philip I. Kent, that 80-20 President S. B. Woo wanted to be
called regarding the incident.
At 5:45 p.m., TNT Senior VP Jeff Banky and Broadcaster Steve Kerr
called S. B. at his home and apologized profusely. They asked him to
in turn convey their apologies to the Asian American community. It
seemed obvious that Kerr didn't know that China*man, unlike
Frenchman and Englishman, was a derogatory term. S.B. accepted the
apology with the condition that Mr. Kerr also called Ming Yao to
apologize. S.B. also requested that Mr. Kerr to publicize, whenever
appropriate, the impropriety of using derogatory terms in describing
minorities. Mr. Kerr agreed. 80-20 TURNED A NEGATIVE CASE INTO
A POSITIVE ONE IN 2 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES.
(2) A couple of months ago, General Wesley Clark also inadvertently
used China*man together with the term Frenchman in an radio
interview. Upon an e-mail from S. B., Gen. Clark called S.B. at his
home to apologize. SB was impressed with General Clark's sincerity
and his sensitivity towards minority concerns. ANOTHER INSTANCE
THAT 80-20 TURNS A NEGATIVE EVENT TO A POSITIVE ONE.
(3) After learning about General Clark's apology, An Army Major e-
mailed SB to let him know that a terrain in the Army map of Fort
Irwin in the California Mojave Desert is designated "China*man's Hat."
Upon learning that S. B. requested Julia Wan, a new Board Member to
work with the Army to delete the name. A month ago, Brigadier
General Joseph Fil, Jr. e-mailed Julia stating "The computerized data
base from which they (the maps in question) are produced has
already been changed, and no longer contains the China*man's Hat
moniker. " YET ANOTHER HAPPY CASE HANDLED BY 80-20 ON
BEHALF OF OUR COMMUNITY.
