"now we have to worry about asian boys too!!??"

They described him on Fox News as Chinese-American, but his picture looks like he could be racially mixed. Does anyone have any other info on this?

His ethnicity is not important. What is important is that he converted to Islam from Christianity. Yee spent four years studying in Syria. He should have been watched more closely. Many Mohammedans have a problem supporting American values / cultures that are in conflict with their Muslim beliefs.

Shouldn't his studying in Syria raised a few red flags?

Exactly. That is my point. This man studied for four years in Demascus Syria. Not too many Americans spend four years in Syria.

"His ethnicity is not important."

on the contrary, his ethnicity is very important-

Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world. Add to that Malaysia, parts of the Philippines, Bangladesh, parts of India, etc. Islam's goal is world domination, and they've been very busy in Asia and the Pacific islands.

I will guess that by 'slant eyes', you're narrowing Asia to the far rim.

This is patently absurd. The melanin in a persons skin, or, for that matter, the epithelium in their eyes, are not the body parts which govern cognition. Only the brain does that.

This means that what and how a person has learned is of primary importance. The learning environment and, by extension, the entire social milieu, not genetics, is the major factor in determining behavior.

While your points are sound, you must also consider that the politics of victimization and resentment are very strong in America. Far too many blacks are taught that whites are their enemy, instead of their fellow citizens.

Enemies of American values are capitalizing on these feelings of resentment and steering susceptible persons into the idea that joining with muslims will somehow strengthen their position versus whites.

Mr. Hooper added, however, that "there are those in our society who love to question the patriotism of American Islamics and this unfortunately will give them ammunition to do that, no matter what the facts of the case are."

Of course this would be the last line of a NY Slimes article.

preach on, babe!! damn, you are good! NO SACARSM, i am impressed with the above! thank god for google dictionary.

now i do not agree with you. there are certain things black , whites, etc generally do and i don't care where they are brought up.

when it comes to criminal behavior i believe in racial/ ethnic profiling.

does not take a genius to know that no matter where a black person grows up, they still wanna go dancing all the damn time.

or no matter where a white person grows up, they still wanna go camping in some crazy remote place.

ETC

"He should have been watched more closely."

There's speculation that they were watching him. He left the service, went to Syria, came back and reenlisted. That may have sent up flares somewhere. Perhaps they gave him the rope to hang himself. I'd like to think that they did.

You don't think that his ethnicity is important. I do. The media is claiming he's Chinese-American, but if he isn't a full blooded Chinese, then it should be made public. He obviously was born and raised in the U.S., but were his parents both Chinese, or was one of his parents Chinese and the other perhaps black? The media is so set to call people African-American, Chinese-American, etc. If he isn't full-blooded Chinese, then they should set the record straight.

More media distortion. Although his surname is indeed Chinese, even a cursory look at a photo of this chump will show that he is mixed race -- and that a good part of that mix is African. The dude LOOKS black

So what, you may ask? Remember that a LARGE majority of Islam's converts in America come from the ranks of the African-Americans.

I have had the misfortune to run across Black Muslims in uniform, in the course of my assignments. They are, without exception, taught that "Xianity is the White man's 'ligion - unsuitable for an African."

The Muslims, indeed, capitalize on the hate between the breeds, just like Socialists do. Islam and Socialism are ideological brothers. Think why we haven't heard any Muslim attacks (verbally) upon the DNC?
