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?

"His ethnicity is not important."

on the contrary, his ethnicity is very important-

"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.
