The student came here-- think it was 15 years ago----about 1992.

Well since I have lived in Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. metro area of which Centreville is a part for a long enough time to understand the population growth of this area------I have no problem with talking about a persons race.

This area takes in many immigrants. The one segment of the immigrants that have in general integrated very well into society here in the metro area are the South Koreans. My first reaction when I learned he was originally from South Korea--------was to ask what happened to him to cause him to kill his fellow students. It is not in keeping with the people that I know who came here from South Korea.

That is still a question I am asking.

I do think the AAJA is on the wrong track on this-----they are actually hightlighting that fact rather than let it be.

If the young man had lived and left the campus with a man-hunt ensuing would they still be objecting to describing his race?
