Hi, I'm from England and i'd like to say first that this isn't out to offend anyone and I hope it doesn't... But since hearing about the awful VT shootings, i've noticed so many questions on here asking if this inncident will make us change our minds about Asians in general...And with respect I have to say, it's driving me mad.
Race/colour is a much much bigger issue in the US than the UK. And if this had happened over here instead, I doubt that many British people would be asking the same question.
I have to say the same about the whole Don Imus issue (Sorry if i got his name wrong, I'd never heard of him untill a couple of weeks ago and still don't really know who he is...). If Imus had been British, and that comment had been made in the UK, sure it would cause some fudes, but to be honest, no one would really care.
Why do you think there is such a difference between America and the UK when it comes to race?
