Paul F. Tompkins says so, so it must be.

A few thoughts on the alleged mass-killer Cho Seung-Hui

First, my apologies in advance. This post is going to be in a really bad taste, even more so than the usual.

So now, my few thoughts on the crazy dude.

The killer is 1) Asian 2) nerd 3) angry. I bet there are a lot of people at Waterloo who are afraid to go to school. By a lot of people, I mean the white guys who do not associate themselves with non-whites and therefore have perception of minorities purely based on television stereotypes.
The killer 1) is an English major 2) apparently wrote some crazy violent shits for assignments 3) was set to graduate this year, which means there is probably quite a sizable mass of writings accumulated. A headline expected in two months time: “Regents of Virginia Tech and the killer’s parents receive multimillion dollar book advance from {HarperCollins, Random House, Simon & Schuster}.”
There is going to be a really offensive post on this subject from 125 Columbia.

I’ll give you a hint; it’s for a new H&M store.
