I should smite you for apologizing.

Why? I'm not sorry for the way I think or feel. :-P Just for going off-topic in this thread!

Yeah, doesn't phase me.
It's the same kind of pseudo-shock humor that Chuck P. tends to go for, and it's almost always badly written.

I am embarrassed to be Korean right now. And I can also admit that when I first heard the shooter was an Asian male, I was secretly hoping he were Chinese or something.

Seriously. I think we've all been embarrassed by "our people." They go and ruin our reps!

I think it's absolutely fascinating that myspace, livejournal, facebook..etc, are all ahead of the news outlets.

Heh, I found out that the accused gunman (the one with the live journal blog) was a member of the AR15 forum and I mentioned it to my BF who is also a member to see if he had chatted with him, and he got all paranoid that I was snooping around on "his" message boards and then he informed me that he was not the shooter. Which, 1.) Apparently no one told my BF that there is no such thing as privacy on the internet; "his" message board? 2.) DUH, I know he's not the shooter because I just sent you his blog stating he wasn't the shooter. Pay attention!

But isn't that part of general South Asian culture? I'm most familiar with Japanese culture, but I know that it dictates that if you're Japanese, you marry Japanese. That's why the country of Japan's population has an extremely high percentage of "pure-blooded" Japanese (I'm talking 90-95%).
I could see how that could be a relatively safe, albeit generalized, conclusion.
[/quote]
Yeah, I think that's too generalized. Mexicans are the same way and the "old school" Mexicans get PISSED if you date outside your race. I dumped my ex - who is Mexican - to be with my current BF - who is white - and he begged and pleaded with me not to stay with him, but not to dump him for a white guy because it was so demeaning to him Whatever, I live in the modern world, and I like to believe that we are colorblind.

I'm still trying to see if Cho had an "Americanized" name that he went by. A large percentage of the Korean people that I have known did go by their "american" names.

My best friend is Thai and she has an American name, but only her family calls her by it. She uses her real name both professionally and socially. I always found that odd.
I found a kind of cute story while reading around some of the articles that were posted here:
This guy was sleeping in his GF's dorm when he hears the commotion and finds out that there's a shooting. He tries calling his GF who had german class that AM in Norris. He can't get ahold of her. Finally, he gets a call from the hospital:
"i get a call from montgomery hostpital. A very kind nurse, wanted to give me a message from Katelyn Carney. I obviously oblige and ask what the message is. She says, ok, the message is 'I've got red on me' Of course I instantly think, what a hilarious thing to say in a situation like this, but at the same time, I'm now MORE worried than i was beforeā¦"
Hee. From Shaun of the Dead. I laughed because when I read that, my IM status said "You've got red on you." I needed a light-hearted story in the middle of all this.

No one should ever apologize for going off topic.
And as far as going 'off topic' goes, this wasn't bad at all.
I mean, we were discussing the potential of bringing down the server due to people coming in specifically to see THIS thread.
Hell, I wouldn't consider that going off topic at all actually.
No worries, no apologies.
The Facebook group against Cho Seung-Hui has 500 members and it was made five hours ago.
These people are pissed.
If he hadn't made AN HERO of himself I guarantee you someone would be taking a shot at him as he made his perp walk.
