Chinese Americans are continuing to protest against US comedian Jimmy Kimmel's recent offensive skit.

More than two hundred people gathered on Friday outside a New York studio of the American Broadcasting Company. They were demanding a formal apology from ABC. Protesters say they want Jimmy Kimmel to be fired, and they want ABC to promise that such things will not happen again.

In the midst of the US government shutdown, Kimmel sat at a "kids" table, during which a kid suggested "killing everyone in China" to solve the US debt issue. Many protesters argue that the problem was not the child's comment, but that Kimmel did not challenge it.
