Naturally, my first thought was black, but then I considered that blacks aren't usually associated in random mass murders. They tend to kill eachother, and often with good reason, disrespecting the homies.

Then I settled on white, because whites tend to be ****** up 'that way'.

My order of likelyhood was as follows.

1. White
2. Black
3. Middle Eastern
4. Asian

Surprised the ****** out of me, that's for sure.

Perhaps the most important post of this thread. Very revealing too.

I appreciate it, just doing my part.

There is only so far you can push those people. They've been pushed to the brink of 'berg enough by "The Man" :eek::D

What if it were a pygmy, though? No one would suspect those cute little critters.
If you continue calling them Eskimos, I wouldn't be surprised that you'd be on the receiving end of an ass-kicking. :p

Exactly. Lock this stupid thread.

People like to tamper with prejudice.

If he were middle eastern, he's a terrorist, if he were negro, he's a rapper, if he were white, he's a twisted yet brilliant mass murder mastermind, if he were asian, he's spoiled by video games.

There are conclusions to make about his state of mind based on his race. Don't try and pretend he wouldn't have been called a terrorist by the media if he were Iranian.

Since I could probably out shoot you I am not going to justify that statement...:disgust:....the reason I thought it was a male is because most women are to compassionate to kill that many people with out emotion

I figured white, and I was kind of hoping white so it wouldn't turn into a racial issue.

QFT!

Ni!

Seriously.

Kudos to the posters not taking this thread seriously. I mean, it is the kind of people that actually think about stuff like this that are making tensions that much higher.

i agree with a lot of posters here: i didn't think of race at all. i didn't come to my mind until i read this thread that the race actually mattered to some. i just found out now he is some kind of east asian male.

btw, OP, u need to brush up on some stuff. "Muslim" isn't a race and the people you see on tv aren't considered to be Muslims by 99%+ other Muslims. you do realize bush is seen as bin laden in iraq, right?
