NOT ONE OF US?
This is a rather minor point in the larger tragedy of the the Virginia Tech shootings but Angry Asian Man raises an interesting question: if the IDed shooter, Seung-Hui Cho has actually lived in the U.S. since 1992 (meaning that he was 8 when he came to the U.S.), why is the media repeatedly referring to him as "a resident alien" and "from South Korea"? These are, of course, technically true statements but he's spent over half his life in the U.S. He's a Korean American by practically any standard I can think of.
Are folks uncomfortable with accepting that some psycho with a gun is American-bred, though not born?
