[Dont Mention the War]

Just when you thought things couldn't get any more pathetic...

[Frank_Discussion]

Would “gook” be okay? How ‘bout just “dead asian”?

I don’t really refer to asians (!) as “gooks” - it’s a horrible thing to say. But what the f do they think he is? Not European. Not American. Not Spanish. PC is going to kill us...

[MIchaelTArchangel]

What do they want references to him to be? Korean? Martian? Bush lover? Gun-toting Republican?

If they are Asians, it would appear to me that Cho is also an Asian.

[GOP_1900AD]

OK - English Major then....

[ApplegateRanch]

Dear AAJA,

It does no good to identify a journalist as “Asian”, as it unfairly portrays an entire ethnicity as being duplicititous, unethical, bigoted, race concious hacks, who could not earn a real degree.

[RockinRight]

Fine. Call him Korean.

[torchthemummy]

So a representative of the Asian American Journalists Association wants media, politicians etc. to not use the term Asian? Idiocy writes itself.

Was this asian a design major?

[lilylangtree]

The man was Asian.

[gracesdad]

Generally speaking, I think that when police are looking for a suspect or they haven’t IDed the guy, any description, including race and ethnicity, is fair game. And when they ID him finally, noting where he’s from is fine, especially if not native-born. But I see no reason to continue to ID him as Asian, just as there’s no reason to continue describing anybody as caucasian or black.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Who cares what they think. He was asian. Im sick of minorities trying to shove their multicult garbage down our throats. The time is coming one day whern this rubbish will end.

[Biggirl]

The person who gaved the “PC” closing remarks is VT poet Nikki Giovanni, calling it “We Are Virgina Tech”.

[wolfcreek]

How about Northeast Asian or wrong side of the Mason Dixon Asian

[Grunthor]

“Asian Journalist Group demands MSM not refer to Virginia Tech killer as “Asian”

Oriental better?

[MARKUSPRIME]

He probably suffered from Asian SSS(Small sausage syndrome). It infuriates them to no end that we take all their women when they come to the US. :)))

[Quick or Dead]

Virginia Tech was shot up by a ring-chong-chong-ching-chong-chong-ching.

[jordan8]

Did the authorities hesitate to release the description of the killer after the first two murders because he was Asian? We’ve seen that practice thousands of times in this country, and this letter is part of that PC mentality.

[George W. Bush]

These are the Un-American Asian Journalists. This is a call for censorship of news and even blogs.

Why is ethnicity to be more protected than gender or sexual preference? Why should we ignore it if Muslims are shooting at us (the two in DC and the one Rudy is still pretending was just crazy so he could grab more guns)? Or if women are shooting at us (like a local woman who got up on the local railroad viaduct with a deer rifle and pinned down the town cops and sheriff and deputies for several hours)? Or reporting on Waco?

Fortunately, these Asian journalists are too stupid for anyone to listen to.

[Petronski]

There is no evidence at this early point that the race or ethnicity of the suspected gunman has anything to do with the incident, and to include such mention serves only to unfairly portray an entire people.

Referring to him as hailing from Centreville has nothing to do with the incident. Referring to him as a man has nothing to do with the incident.

Soon, the language washes away like a sandcastle.

[AmericanInTokyo]

It would be worth it to remind this pathetic outfit that

ALL OVER "ASIA", THE PRESS HERE IS REFERRING TO THE SHOOTER, IN THE VARIOUS LANGUAGES OF THEIR ONLINE NEWSPAPERS, AS BEING "ASIAN".

What is their reply to THAT!!??
