Dawn,we are talking about Virginia TECH so there are probably lots of Asian students at the school.
Sorry for the stereotype but its true.Engineering and hard science majors are frequently Asian-China,India,etc.
A Pakistani national enrolled in the University of Missouri - Rolla (Engineering School) made a bomb threat about 3 months ago. His friends and family say he was upset over his grades. Last I heard he was going to be deported but his friends and family are trying to keep him here.
Deport, deport, deport....
