my wife is chinese and they are the most intergrated and successful ethnic group in the USA. Just because they never complain and just get on with life people like this think they can make fun out of them, it'd racist and not acceptable. The Chinese should be more vocal against such abhorant cheap jibes. I may as well have a go at her for being fat and ugly - don't think she would like that about as much as my wife was unimpressed by her racist rubbish.

i think everybody needs to lighten up--i saw the show and i think it was obvious that rosie was only joking around---one my closest friends was asian and he wasnt offended at all--learn to take a joke.

How typical - it's meant to be funny and it wasn't meant to be racist at all.

Meanwhile, she's hypersensitive when she accused Ripa of gay-bashing when it's known that Ripa is a clean-freak (referring to her comment to Aiken about not knowing where his hand had been after he put his hand over her mouth during a show). Obviously she couldn't grasp Kelly Ripa's sense of humour. Hypocrite!

OH NO... IT'S MEDIA 'CAREER SUICIDE' -- THAT'S 'SELL OUT'. you shouldn't say something on National TV. It's too embarrassing. Rosie better watch out of job fire from ABC company.

Get a grip.... she was talking about media (not the Chinese) getting caught up in something that isnt news worthy, this article is case in point. I am sure if she could speak Chinese she would of used the correct words. She is a comic for crying out loud... America GET A SENSE OF HUMOUR!

Jeeez... what a cow... remember the time she was all over Tom Selleck for his membership in the NRA, and she did WalMart commercials that sold guns... what a hypocrite... this is just another attempt by a pathetic out of the limelight star grasping at attention... they should send her to work in a Chinese coal mine...

now, i dont know if you 'lighten up' commentors are chinese or asian american, but i am. 'get over it?' i bet you guys support michael richards as well. i had to listen to this crap all through my school years, including college. this should most definately not be tolerated by any asian americans, and action needs to be taken upon this 'comedian.' no one finds her funny anyway. dear barbara walters, get rid of this racist pig! this kind of behavior should not be on air waves at all!

Well, if that was meant to be a joke, it really wasn't funny enough. It just didn't do its job at either pissing off all Asians or make anyone laugh. It also seems random that she'd use China as an example—perhaps it was easy? I am Chinese and I am not really offended enough to think much of it. It was a lame joke, after all.

Homosexuals need to get over themselves and get a sense of humor!

And then her agent says, 'I certainly hope that one day they will be able to grasp her humor.' Like Asians are to stupid to grasp it now.

I can't believe that people still even care what Rosie has to say. She reminds me of that person we all have at our jobs that makes fun of people but can't take it. I think the view should send her packing before she really says something stupid....oh yeah she's already done that.

Is it funny when you are a 6-year old Asian kid on the playground and all the other white kids are dancing around you saying 'ching chong ching chong'?

What gets me is that this is the same PC minded, thin skinned Rosie who was so offended by Kelly Ripa's statement. Who the %%#$$@ does she think she is. If this was a big media person on the right, he or she would have fired from the show.

What a classic line 'can't you take a joke' this is what every racist I knew always said when they were confronted with their comments.

People need to realize that even when they say 'ching chong' as a joke, it echoes every racist remark Asian-Americans have ever heard. I remember when I was a kid in third grade, and other kids would say that about not only me but my mother and father. Although I don't think Rosie meant to be racist, it's unfortunate that she doesn't realize the comments are in themselves hurtful. Without an apology forthcoming, I think it's well within reason for Asian-Americans to condemn her as well as the show. These words, like all other racial epithets, only reinforce negative stereotypes, and it's appalling that a TV personality would be allowed to voice them on public broadcasts.

I don't think Rosie was trying to make fun of Chinese people. She, as part of a larger joke, tried to imitate Chinese, and that's the best she could do. I doubt most other people here could do much better.

It certainly wasn't the point of her joke. She wasn't trying to get laughs from the 'ching chong' bit. The punchline was the 'Danny DeVito' bit in English at the end.

first of all, stop calling her a comedian. she is anything but. a true comedian would have told an actual joke rather than perform a poor interpretation of the chinese language. that was her joke: making fun of the chinese language.

and for someone so hypersenstive about kelly ripa's action, for her to tell the asian community to 'lighten up' is beyond hypocritical. if you're actions have insulted someone, whether you deny the cruel intentions or not, then the most sensitive response would be to apologize. which is the same that she expected of kelly ripa.

her 'joke' was awful, her inability to recognize her insensitivity is offensive.

I work P/T weekends (for past 3 yrs) as a Night Auditor in a hotel in Philly and we mostly have wedding guests staying on during weekends. We have hosted guests of pretty much all ethnic groups, mostly whites (anglo, irish, italian, etc. ), some blacks, some asians, some hispanic etc. I was born in India and tho not a Muslim (born Hindu but atheist) I get taunted with Osama/terrorist jokes all the time. Our hotel hosted the worst group of all - an Asian American group mostly all Chinese at our hotel - just this weekend Dec 9th. While I was just doing my front-desk duties these Chinese made racist terrorist and anti-muslim jokes, for no reason,stole from the hotel store and pretty much destroyed some rooms in the hotel. The chinese who are ranting/raving here should look in your own hearts. I am personally of the opinion that Chinese are the most racist (just go to China) and deserve to made fun of.
