LANHAM, Md. (CBSDC) — The White House has issued a response to a “We the People” petition that asked for the cancellation of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

The petition-writer, whose letter got more than 100,000 signatures, was disturbed by a segment of an October episode of Kimmel’s show during which a child suggested the U.S. “kill everyone in China” in order to absolve its debt to the People’s Republic.

“I was very disturbed by Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘Kids Table’ show,” the letter says. “It was aired on ABC recently and talked about killing all the Chinese so that the states do not need to pay back their debts to China. The kids might not know anything better. However, Jimmy Kimmel and ABC’s management are adults. They had a choice not to air this racist program, which promotes racial hatred. The program is totally unacceptable and it must be cut. A sincere apology must be issued. It is extremely distasteful and this is the same rhetoric used in Nazi Germany against Jewish people. Please immediately cut the show and issue a formal apology.”

The White House response reads:
