Third Action: ESCALATION

We've hit the racists hard on Youtube. Now it's time to escalate it up to Google (Youtube's owners). Print and faxes often receive more attention that emails. Copy the letter below, paste it into a document, type your name and address at the bottom, sign it, then fax it in to Google at (650) 618-1499. Optional: mail it as well.

Google Inc.: Public Relations / Youtube 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View CA 94043 phone: (650) 623-4000 fax: (650) 618-1499 Dear Public Relations Professional: I am writing to inform you of a series of videos containing hate speech that have spread throughout Youtube. I request that you use your Content Verification Program to remove all these videos and prevent future ones from being uploaded. All these videos are variations on a single song known as the "Chinese Freestyle Rap" performed by a comedian named Brandon DiCamillo and associated with band and video series CKY. Some of the videos are copies of the original performance release, and others are of users who have created their own images to go along with the song. These videos all clearly violate the Youtube terms of use concerning hate speech. Their racism is disgusting and virulent. Worst of all, some of the uploaders are children. They are exposing and harming other children with this garbage. Here are the song lyrics: Who wants to taste my general tso...you want to taste my general tso I'm-a give it to you now Who like my chopstick hit you when I shit with my little-ass dick. Yellow If you wanna see me eat Jell-O I never seen nothin' like you before I can kick you higher than you can kick me I can kick you way up into a tree Who wants a taste of my oo-long tea?

Action on the others is too slow. This issue is gaining momentum among the Asian-American and anti-racist community, and we would appreciate quicker action on this from your company. I am confident you will engage in quick action before the matter receives greater media attention.
