Do they realize that by using the term, they are insulting Cho's mother, too?

Also, their sincerity aside, could this be because South Koreans are somewhat expecting or anticipating a backlash against Koreans similar to the spate of anti-Americanism which cropped up in South Korea after two children were accidentally run over by American soldiers?

Interesting. Never thought of it that way. The South Korean Left exploited the bodies of those children, and now Koreans are wondering if anyone will do the same here. It’s plausible.

The absurd thing is, Americans are least likely of all to blame ethnicity in a situation like this, but we are most likely to be called racist.

We know exactly who is responsible for this abominable event...

...the NRA and the gun manufacturers.
