    I see your point on the parallels and i agree with them. However, i don't see how the interrelate to what happened at the school with what i said previously.

    And your point being...?

    I seriously don't understand why so many people are making this an issue about RACE. Why should it matter whether he's Asian or Mexican or European? Is that really what we should be concerned about? The color of his skin?

    He's a freaking HUMAN BEING, and the fact that a human being committed such violent act against other human beings is what we should be focusing on. Rather, I go to several different forums and see people making ridiculously ignorant comments like "I bet he's Vietnamese," and "As long as he's not Korean". What the heck, guys? 30+ people were killed, and all people are concerned about is the guy's race and whether this will have anything to do with how it's going to reflect on them as Asians? Truly, get a grip.

    It's a tragedy regardless of the person's race! Unless he targeted people by racial discrimination, which none of the sources have said he did.

    that video is bullshit lol. If it had been a black guy he would have said 'black people who are racist will do this all the time" what an ignorant prick.

    I think you are one of the few who actually think that way. The world would be a better place if there are more of you around. In reality, most poeple are shallow and racists.

    what the heck is wrong with that guy who made up the video? I say we freaking spam that guy. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_8jSCvyacm0

    I feel so bad for those who are affected by this, makes me feel so insecure on campus.

    OMG, i am so sorry. I guess the best thing to do is just to be there for him if he needs you or tell him you're there for him? Usually hugs work the best in these type of situations. There isn't much you can say.

    I actually visited the the forum and the level of ignorance that the members there display is beyond ridiculous.

    Quoted these directly from the site:

    A lot of the members there seem to be an avid fan of Hitler's.

    Anyhow, I also realize that those comments above put the Americans in a not so positive light, but I would like to think that you guys are not so narrow-minded as those specific individuals to assume that all white-Americans share those same racist mentalities.

    I couldn't agree more.

    Sadly enough, I think you're very right about the shallow and racist part. But I do feel that if less people bring up the word "asian", or any other race for that matter with response to this event, then at least less racist comments would be triggered.
     
  18. damn lol i can see a forum war hahaha
     
  19. the gunman was from SHANGHAI!!! OH THE HORROR!!! -shock

    damn I was watching the news on it... n some student actually recorded the thing... well it was outside the building... but you can hear the gunshots and that shit was just crazy...
