America hates the world?

Question

americans are going to hate koreans/asians in general because of the VT shootings last week...just like they hate muslims(and anyone else in that general area) because of the 9/11 attacks...
any thoughts?

i can f*ckin tell that most of you are americans on this huh? lol

Answer 1

Hey, it's the sad truth. Don't worry though, this wont hurt asians as much as 9 11 hurt Muslims and middle easterners, cuz the stereotype is that asians are geniuses

Answer 2

America tends to act irrationally to this type of event. Just like with 9/11 there is a natural reaction of hating the perpetrators. And even when you can identify the people who did it you still seek revenge.

With 9/11 American policy makers should go after the men who planned it, because the ones that did it were dead.


If we look into US history we can see a pattern of this type of hate, even internally and for smaller incidents

What America has to do is do a self analysis. Why did 9/11 happen? Why did the VT shootings happen?

Was 9/11 the result of a spontaneous act of pure radical Islamism that targeted the US for no reason or is this the product of US policies that lead desperate people to commit that terrible act of terrorism.

What can we, the US blame the VT shootings on? Oh yeah, he was an "alien", as the police officer referred to him, that had mental problems. Never a word said about the gun culture and arms lobby.

Take Nicaragua, the US intervened there to the point Nicaragua took the US to the world (the only possible legal path that a country can take against another) obviously, Nicaragua did not have the military might to face the US so to call the attention of the International community, Nicaragua had 2 choices, Go to the world court or use terrorism (terrorism is in fact a means to achieve ends, just look at the IRA in Ireland and England, among other examples)

Nicaragua chose the legal Path and the world was watching...

The US was convicted of terrorism against Nicaragua and had to pay substantial compensation to Nicaragua. The US ignores the World Court's decision and increases its military presence and pressure in Nicaragua. There, Nicaragua has learned a lesson and so have other countries that cannot even think in declaring war to the US.

Just think, what would you do if you were from a country being bullied by the big all mighty US of A, like Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan and so forth? Yeah, you would take your case to the World Court.

We need to put this into perspective when we analyze 9/11. It was a horrendous crime and the perpetrators need to be punished but don't use that as an excuse to create other Nicaraguas, other Vietnams... it will backlash, and already is.

With the VT shootings, don't justify this horrible crime with his insanity. If I had a member of my family in those 32 killed, I would not rest until carrying and buying guns as you please was made illegal. How many more need to die until America realizes this is part of the problem and not part of the solution?

As Albright once said when questioned about the half a million children that died in Iraq after the first Iraqi War as a result of the US sanctions, internationally condemned, as it was actually helping Sadam Hussein "we think the price is worth it"

Maybe this is what other countries being bullied by the US, as there are many, think when they plan 9/11.
Maybe the VT shooting is the price the US has to pay to maintain its gun culture, and its lucrative business

Answer 3

Probably not. The 9/11 bombers were organised foreign nationals with a cause and possibly foreign governmental assistance.

The VT shooter was a single college student who snapped. If he had been named something like 'Eric Harris', nothing would have been very different about his experience.

Plus, 9/11 cost something on the order of 100 times more lives.

Answer 4

No, I don't know a single American who connects what happened at VT with other Koreans or other Asians. I mean, they know the guy was Korean, but they also know that being Korean had nothing to do with what happened. The guy was mentally ill.

Answer 5

Yes we hate the world so much that we give more money, more food, more medical supplies then any country in the history of the world. Btw, South Korea is one of our closest allies and that will not change. Anyway Cho was here since 1992, an American by any measure. Don't hate Muslims either, just the few that wish us harm.

Answer 6

uh, No.

We (at least this American) dont hate anyone, if anything, we hate the actions of the perpetrators and in the case of Muslims the misinterpretation of Islam in making it seem hateful towards non-Muslims, specially American non-Muslims.

There are millions of Muslims and Korean-Americans who choose to live here and this majority has nothing to do with those wackos.

Answer 7

Yes, we hate the world so much we are always first in line to help when there's a natural disaster in one of those other countries.

When Florida was devastated by four hurricanes, and Katrina hit New Orleans and the Mississippi coast in 2005, I don't recall any other country on Earth offering to help. Funny how hate works, isn't it?

Answer 8

Koreans and Asians are a race of people, many of them being Christians. Muslims center around the Muslim "religion" based on the killing of infidels. Muslims are not Christians. The Korean kid was a sick individual. That has nothing to do with the Korean and Asian race of people.

Answer 9

Shut up. You're basing generalizations that others will generalize all others. There is NO way in my opinion that Asians will be feared because of a shooting to the extend of the majority's view of the crazy Muslim terrorist.

Answer 10

I am sure that they ususal suspects (the easily led) will decide that they hate Koreans (or maybe Asians in general) because of the tragedy in VT. I don't advocate hating anyone, but if you are going to vent your spleen on someone, I would suggest the people at VT who created the GUN FREE ZONE. These politically correct morons are responsible for the magnitude of the crime. They should be the targets of some pretty substantial lawsuits.

A deeply troubled and disgruntled foreign student runs afoul of college authorities.

He comes to the Virginia campus armed and starts shooting in one building.

But, unlike the massacre at Virginia Tech last week, the damage was contained in this incident that occurred five years ago, before the state legislature banned guns on college campuses.

(Story continues below)


Peter Odighizuwa

On Jan. 16, 2002, Peter Odighizuwa, a 43-year-old student from Nigeria, walked into the Appalachian School of Law offices of Dean Anthony Sutin, 42, a former acting assistant U.S. attorney, and professor Thomas Blackwell, 41, and opened fire with a .380 ACP semi-automatic handgun – shooting them at close range.

Also killed in the same building was student Angela Denise Dales, 33. Three others were wounded.

As soon as the gunfire erupted, two students acting independently of one another, Tracy Bridges and Mikael Gross, ran to their vehicles to retrieve firearms. Gross, an off-duty police officer in his home state of North Carolina, got his 9mm pistol and body armor. Bridges got out his .357 Magnum.

Bridges and Gross went back to the building where the shots were heard and as Odighizuwa exited, they approached from different angles. Bridges yelled for him to drop his weapon and the shooter was subdued by several unarmed students.

Gross went back to his car and got handcuffs to detain the shooter until police arrived.

Most news reports of the incident failed to mention the presence of two armed students and their role in subduing the shooter, saying only that he was tackled by bystanders.

Odighizuwa was tried for the murders and sentenced to multiple life terms in prison.

Virginia Tech, like many of the nation's schools and college campuses, is a so-called "gun-free zone," which Second Amendment supporters say invites gun violence – especially from disturbed individuals seeking to kill as many victims as possible.

Foreign-born student Cho Seung-Hui murdered 32 and wounded another 15 before turning his gun on himself.

A year earlier, the Virginia legislature banned all guns on campus in the interest of safety.
