謝謝大家關注“老鼠事件”。
到昨天為止,至少有 7000 人在文學城上讀到了有關這個漫畫的報道,很多人留言表達了他們的想法。可以相信,因著文學城,有相當一部分的讀者已經直接給漫畫作者和編輯部寫信,表達了大家的抗議。
今天,報紙登出了正式道歉。道歉信說“ The Plain Dealer apologizes to our readers who were offended by the May 14 editorial cartoon relating to the earthquake in China. Although it was not the cartoonist's intent to diminish the gravity of this catastrophe, we take seriously the reaction of our readers. The cartoon, which many viewed as offensive, has also been removed from Cleveland.com, the newspaper's Web site. ” 鏈接在此:

報紙同時以《中國政府被醜化、悲劇被掩蓋》為標題登出了克利夫蘭“中國職業家企業家協會”的來信。鏈接在此:http://www.cleveland.com/plaindealer/stories/index.ssf?/base/opinion/121127223496540.xml&coll=2
完全可以這麽說,報紙最終決定表示抱歉,是因為收到了大量的讀者來信,是因為感受到了華人團體和個人的巨大壓力。
如果你對這個結果滿意,不妨告訴報紙他們做了正確的決定,並謝謝他們。這是報紙的讀者代表 Ted Diadiun 的電子郵件: tdiadiun@plaind.com
感謝大家的努力,漫畫事件得到了理想的結果,但,這不是結束。這幅漫畫當初被登出來,說明美國人對中國的理解是片麵的、扭曲的。怎樣增加其他族裔的人對中國人的理解,以避免今後類似的事情再發生,是你我要思索的問題。。。。。
Thanks for the reports.
At least they heard our voice.
Thank you so much! Together we can!
