It hadn't occurred to me to think about what race he was, because it doesn't matter.

South Korea.

He was actually a North Korean operative.

I thought it was a white guy because that's what white guys do. Muslim terrorists use planes, and black guys just go on crack induced rages and run around naked until the police shoot them. Asians don't typically flip out. Did I get all the stereo types right?

What I fear is this will make gun laws more strict, where as it should show that if college students or staff were allowed to carry on campus this nut jump could have been stopped before his body count got over 2 or 3.

he was being sarcastic and making fun of stereotypes. i figured when he asked if he got the stereotypes right, that might be a clue...

I didn't think of race when I first heard about it. I'm not sure when that part of it would've crossed my mind (the part where people were getting shot was more at the forefront), but the first time I considered race at all was when I heard that the guy was an Asian.

Muslim isn't a race, its' a religion.
You can have White muslims, black muslims, even asian muslims.


Race didnt come to mind.

FYI - There have been numerous incidents in the last few years of crazy guys that were Muslim that attacked people and they weren't called terrorist attacks.

There was one an incident at U of North Carolina where a Muslim drove his SUV into a crowd on campus.

There was another incident in Seattle or San Fran (can't remember which) where a Muslim cabbie was trying to run over people outside of a synagogue.

There was another incident where a Muslim man shot some people at LAX.

None were called terrorist attacks by the government.
