At least, the "yellow face" used by the New York Times as a "point man" in its China coverage redeemed himself somewhat by covering and reporting a more nuanced story about the victims across Uighur and Han lines resulting from the Urumqi riots. Click on what Edward Wong wrote about one victim family of Han migrants who settled in Urumqi who got victimized:

But ABC News is a totally disgusting creature. A white reporter, namely, Clarissa Ward, tried to spin and embellish a story about the presumably Uighur woman facing down a gantlet of Chinese security forces in an Urumqi street protests staged by some Uighur women whose husbands, brothers, sons, were ensnarled and arrested during the riots.
Her spin, calculated to embellish this Uighur woman and compare her to the young man who faced down a tank on June 4, 1989 at Tiananmen, is full of crock. Rather than report that Chinese police was deliberately tamping down unnecessary arrests and confrontation, and were in fact very non-confrontational because she was an unarmed woman clearly not inflicting violence upon others, this creature of a Western news reporter spun the story as a heroic act of a victim.
Don't just read her spin, but read the reaction from readers who caughter her bias and prejudice. China bashing and Chinese demonization is rampant and endemic in mainstream Amerikan news media. And sadly, our Chinese-Amerikan intellectuals are "brain-dead" or too focused on "whitestreaming" and achieving "honorary whitehood" than to saying it like it is, i.e. the truth.
There's gold in t'ham t'har hills, and in those "Taco Bell" homes in the exurbs.:-) Better be comfy than to rock the boat and be viewed and tagged as a yellow, slimy"shit-disturber" by your white masters. :-) Isn't " Mei-Guo" beautiful ? Even the farts smell more fragrant here.
