Hi All,
This just reminded me ten years ago, when NBC
commentator Bob Costas made biased comments on Chinese
athletes at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta
Olympics, the Chinese community in the US was
mobilized to protest Costa's comments. This eventually
effected NBC's formal apology. Here is a link to the
details of the protest,

Hopefully, it can help.
