Hes not racist and its human nature so stop bashing him. He never said that he doesnt see asians as people or that he hates them. All he said is that he looks twice at someone who resembles and image that has been burned in all our minds the past few day.
Really, I shouldnt have to be explaining this

Thank you. Finally someone who gets what I am trying to say.
Guys, I'm not saying that asians are killers. I'm just saying that the constant media coverage on this whole event has engrained in people's brains (or at least my head) an image of that guy. For the last 2 days, every time I turn on the TV that guy's angry face is on the screen pointing a gun at me. So, if I see someone who looks like the killer - a partially-balding asian - I think it's very reasonable to say that my brain will think back to that image of Cho. Maybe it's just because I watch way too much news; but that's how I feel.
The media shouldn't be focusing so god damned much on Cho. They should be focusing on the people who lost their lives and their families and the community that has been so terribly affected by this event.
I'm sorry if anyone thinks this was a rascist comment. But, I was just trying to spark a discussion that delved deeper into the human subconscious. Perhaps I should have worded my statement differently.
