"It's like when 9/11 happened"
With the Virginia Tech shooter's identity revealed, some Koreans, fearing a backlash, are fleeing the campus.
By Joe Eaton [2007-04-17]

  • seems overblown

    This fear of reprisals seems quite strange to me. I would be surprised if anyone at Tech thinks that there's a problem with all Koreans because of one crazy guy. And frankly how many Americans' can tell a Korean by their looks or their name anyway? I suppose if you believe this is going to be a problem that all East Asians would be at risk the way Sihks got caught up in the post 9/11 hysteria. But I don't think anyone is going to go after Asians or Koreans because of this.
