Why do they have such bad attitudes ?

Of all of the horrible incidents in American history, how many of them were committed by Korean males?
ONLY THIS ONE! Most of the worst incidents that have occurred in America are the result of WHITE males. I'm not saying this for the purpose of bashing white people. My point is that your statement is unfounded. Cho's ethnicity had nothing to do with it. His beliefs do NOT reflect the beliefs of the Korean people at all. Did you watch his video? He was comparing himself to Jesus Christ and praising the Columbine boys. Koreans in NO WAY encourage shootings!
He was a person who had been ostracized and made fun of too many times as a child by his American peers. This led him to become shy, aloof, and internalize all his emotions. At such a young age, such ill-treatment has a greater effect on a person's emotional and psychological health and stability. Cho was mentally ill, and anyone who has similar experiences, especially early in life, has greater potential to have poor mental health. It's not a Korean male problem, it's a human problem.

How many Koreans do you personally know? Enough to back up your statement that 'they have such bad attitudes'? I'm guessing not. Don't blame a population as a whole because of one crazed gunman. Moron. Stereotyping and generalization, especially in this form, is very harmful to people and makes you look quite ignorant.

The issue with Cho was that he had combination of mental, social, and spiritual disorders that went untreated -- a personality issue with persecution and alienation, the inability to forgive spiritually which made him sick with rage, and either an autistic or sociopathic element which made him unresponsive to other people in his environment. His conscience, infected with anger and rage, became a time bomb waiting to self-destruct, and unfortunately he killed innocent bystanders in the process.
These things can all be detected and either treated or even cured. But our systems and resources have been overloaded with treating only symptoms and not focusing fully on diagnosing the causes and cures. There is a wonderful book that explains how healing works on all levels of the mind, body and spirit -- "Healing" by Francis MacNutt -- including testimonials about healing a schizophrenic and a suicidal patient by addresing and treating spiritual sickness.
The fact that Cho and his victims were of diverse ethnic groups takes away the race issue, and indicates clearly that all humans can be affected by mental and criminal illness. We need to look deeper at the internal causes and more effective treatments and not get sidetracked by appearances.

Uh... no. Should we pay more attention to white teenage boys then? Many school shooters are white teenage boys with bad attitudes. Maybe we should reach out to withdrawn people with no friends and help them out.

no.
This is not a Korean issue.
We should pay more attention to weird people who seem violent. No matter the race.
Just so you know...your question is stupid.

You should check what you write because you can offend a lot of people. I think that our observations should be based on the personality, not on the race. It could have been our fault because we just don't reject people, but make them feel inferior.

No, the fact that one person did something does not make everyone from Korea bad.... it is a ridiculous comment

We should pay more attention to angry, disaffected youth with mental problems.
