  • I was at the gym the other day where there are TV's everywhere among the cardio section, I couldn't help but notice some people would stare at Crazy Cho-Boy's picture that they kept playing over and over on CNN, and then turn around and look at me.  Discreetly of course, but I can't help notice these things.  They pretend not to stare, but when I use my telekinetic powers, I can tell they're thinking 'OMG, don't look into his eyes.... he might put two in my chest and one between my eyes!  OMG!'


    Ok I'm not a mind reader, but you just get that vibe sometimes.  I think sometimes overcoverage and ridiculous segues spawning from the main report ("Are Former Classmates of VT Shooter Still Safe?", or "Will More Copycats Threaten Everyone?") only makes things worse, and is what stops people from really moving on with their lives.  Dude, CNN... seriously.  Try and report on something that's more important, ok?  I think the families of the victimes will want to move on with some closure, not constantly reminded of the incident.


    Would America now fear and discriminate against Asians?  Probably not.  Hopefully getting stared down at the gym is all thats going to be.  Lets hope that I won't have to be subject to a "random" search during immigrations at the airport next time, instead of Abdul Habib in front of me.  No offense, Habib.


    I think I have a good idea on how Arabs and Indians felt when 9/11 hit.


    ....


    Oh well.  Not that I'm offended or anything-- in fact I'm more amused on how your average American is generally quite gullible into religiously believing all kinds of stereotypes of minorities.  Maybe one day they'll think I'm one of those space-faring little green men that couldn't drive and crashed my vehicle in Roswell.

  • And Hispanics. Jose Padilla was a Latino, yo.

  • Yeah, I don't care anymore, the more people people are afraid of me, the less people come up to me at Fry's electronics and go "Hey do you work here?"

  • "fear and discriminate against Asians"

    Are you joking? Asians have a better rep (except as drivers) than anyone. Peace loving, law abiding, good students, supper smart, hard working, hott women, make good boyfriends, and better husbands. Ok maybe you get labeled as boring, and no one will give you a job as a truck driver. Thats got to hurt

    Stop the stupid whining already. I never would have though you a cry baby. Do you think I might get stereotyped? We all do, deal with it. But at lest you are expected to be intelligent, generally I get labeled as dumb and giddy.

  • Damn, that's kinda shitty. That shit doesn't happen over here. Some jokes between friends, but none of the dependants look at it that way.

  • Yeah mostly I have a 27 mile commute one way to work.

  • it is ridiculous how people react out of fear...

  • Yeah, I hate the media. But I must admit, I did think of you after hearing the killer was Asian.... ONLY because you're one of the only people--let alone Asian--I "know" who can use a gun. But I don't think you, nor most gun-users, are therefore psycho killers.
