Default Boy, those americans sure are violent!

Ooops, he's Korean - sorry.

How does this qualify as "Latest World News?"

Where is the link to your "story?"

Been here since he was 8. Culturally, he's probably more American than anything else.

That said, Koreans aren't exactly shrinking violets.

Default Korean, you say?

Would that be North Korean? I'm thinking, do we now have enough justification to invade North Korea?

From all reports he was just like asians, and didn't have much social contact. Sorry, the usual anti-american libel doesn't wash here.

Don't listen much, do ya?
From all reports, he was not in contact with other Asians. The Asian Students Org leader at Virginia Tech knew all the other South Koreans on campus well... but not him.
He felt seperate from them.
This is not uncommon in itself. It is quite common amongst Asian AMERICANS who are heavily AMERICANIZED and do not relate to other Asian AMERICANS who are more in touch with the Asian AMERICAN communities... though it does not usually lead to murder.
His situation was not unlike that of many young Americans who feel isolated. Most of them don't kill anyone.

Your reading problem - he didn't have AMERICAN contacts. He was "american" like my big toe is ukrainian.

So you're suggesting he didn't have any contact with the American media. He didn't absorb anything about America from going to school and being surrounded by Americans?
He certainly wasn't Korean either.

He's South Korean. That really screws up my fake angry warpath to world destruction that hinges on any remote relevance to global politics whatsoever.

What is this post suppose to be about? stereotyping? If it was an American then that shows
how all Americans are? This is stupid indeed. the dam mad man was from South Korea, and he
held a green card. (I will wait until that sinks in a bit for the slow people.) which means he was not
American, and was here to learn to be one, which by the way he failed to do.

So, Europeans should get this one thing straight, you all have maniacs at your door, and I find
you using this incident as a tool to spill out your anti-American crap as disgusting, and feeling less.
you have once again shown your European disgusting true face one to many times.

This topic is limited to a certain group which means there's just one problem. You're not part of the group.
