Do you remember Suey Park? No? Well, because the Internet has a short memory, here's a quick refresher: Way back in March 2014, The Colbert Report sent a tweet riffing on a segment about NFL owner Daniel Snyder launching the Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation. The tweet—"I am willing to show #Asian community I care by introducing the Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever"—was meant to underscore the absurdity of using a racial epithet in the name of an organization meant to support a minority community.

Park thought the joke went too far. For her, using racially insensitive language, even in satire, reinforced how often, and unfairly, minorities are stereotyped and ridiculed. The 23-year-old responded with a tweet of her own: “The Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals has decided to call for #CancelColbert. Trend it.” Trend it did, and Park quickly became the subject of a lot of news stories—and the target of a doxxing attack. Ongoing threats forced Park to leave her home in Chicago.

"I really did think that there was a chance that I could die," she says.

Park spent a lot of time in a series of safe houses and used burner phones to keep up with people in her life. Colbert himself asked his fans to leave Park alone, but the damage was done. Park recounts the experience in Syfy's new series, The Internet Ruined My Life. Her segment (above) appears during the show's premiere on March 9.
