Mr. Cho was undoubtedly already 'disturbed' BUT I wouldn't be surprised if he was egged-on by the typical condescending, disrespectfull attitude that many white people, especially on campuses, display toward Asians and Asian Americans. This is even MORE likely to have been the case in the ENGLISH DEPT. since it's so difficult for many asian students to make the jump in prononciation between English and their native languages.
I have know many Korean students over the years who expressed frustration with discrimination and rudeness expressed toward them by Americans. One roomate of mine took exceptional joy while viewing a movie where a Chinese martial artist beat the crap out of Anglos and then made them look like fools too! This young man was also a POST-GRADUATE visiting professor at UNCG and he was still feeling latent resentment toward whites!
Maybe this extreem incident will "help" ignorant Whites to learn to keep their silly racial attitudes to themselves .........or suffer the consequences - now that Asians aren't just turning the other cheek anymore!
