Jimmy Wong Career

Later, Jimmy said in an MSNBC interview that while he was initially frustrated by the video rant, he realized that humor offered a better response, as he hoped to “put a positive spin on all of it.” Furthermore, Jimmy stated, an eye for an eye approach would only encourage “this behavior to continue.”  “Ching Chong: Asians in the Library Song” went viral and was covered nationally by the American media.
