Hi Carmen. According to reports @ AngryAsianMan, the gunman at the horrible Virginia Tech shooting today was an Asian male.
Oh God…. this is going to be a really, really bad time to be Asian in some parts of the country.
Keep an eye on this story.

Apparently they now know who this asshole is. Authorities (who owe a damn good explanation to the victoms families why no warning was given) aren’t releasing his name just yet for some reason.

I doubt it. No offense, but I don’t think enough people would make a big enough stink about him being Asian (it’s rare to me). Even if they did, it wouldn’t last a week. Maybe if they were black, latino, DEFINITELY of Middle Eastern decent, it might have caused an uproar. They’ll probably focus more on gun issues, safety concerns on school campuses, emotional healing, why the school wasn’t locked/shut down earlier,etc.
It’s a horrible situation; whatever the race, many people lost somebody today. God strengthen them all.
