wow if this is the result of shootings then it's sad. I think asians in general now will be looked at differently

*sigh* these things always happened after a big shooting. It's just sad.

[hayari]

middle easterners were looked at differently after 9/11, most like they'll look at us differently too. Hopefully this does not continue. Wonder if it'll continue if the shooter was a white guy instead of an asian person.

LOL My professor said that they will said oh it's a mistake and not pointing finger. lol This is in Intercultural Communication class too. *sigh*

So sad!! We're already minorities over here so they gonna keep on stomping us esp becuz of this incident!! Too many still racial and prejudice anyways, what can we do?

[T3rRi]

That's so sad! What have the world come too? That's so wrong. Pickin' on a person that had nothing to do with what happened. That's just mess up!

man! this is just so mess up! just because of what happen at the shootings of Virginia Tech, doesn't mean they have to hate on us asian. i mean if one of their white peoeple went and killed the whole school, they wouldn't do a damn thing. but if your asian went and killed the whole school, they would be hatening on us. where is the justice in this world?

wth that is so messed up. & i agree.. if one white person shoots the whole school aint nobody gonna do anything like this.. sad situation.

after all, this is a white man's country altough it is considered to be mutiracial, but still there r so many prejudice and racism going on and even black people r look down. minorities r still minority.

true too! and they still call this a free country! to me whites still have more opportunity, they just don't show it.

i think it's at great fault of the media. the only adjective that they found for Cho was "South Korean." every single news screen and headline described him first as being Korean. No wonder there is backlash... when those white kids shot up colombine, they didn't note their ethnicity in conjunction with their names in every caption and broadcast... makes me so mad!

That is true too. Asians, specifically Koreans, are viewed differently nowadays. It's just like how some Vietnam War Veterans hate Vietnamese people. Yes the media does have a lot to do with this stereotype but I think that if I lived in Virginia and there is a shooting at my school by a minority then I will be terrified of all of them too. it's just that as Americans we are swayed easily and of course in the end, whites will always rule. And as someone mentioned before minority will always be minority. We can sense it in the classroom, in stores and other public facilities.

I totally agree with you, that what i told my sister, when it white, it just mention the name but not much of the ethnicity but it come to again it point it out like a zillion time.
