not a lot of people have been really hating on the south korean community after virginia tech, so that has really been respectful... since a lot of people expect a big hatred towards koreans after that incident

p.s. those bastards... honestly.. i dont even know what to say, so fucking stupid
Honestly, in a perfect world it wouldn't matter about color at all. It would be a man killed another man in a sick way and that man should be punished.
In this world, if the color of the skin is white and they do/say ANYTHING at all against somebody of another ethnicity, it makes national headlines and they have to go apologize to people like Reverend Jesse Jackson.
In a truely equal world, non-caucasians would have to say their apologies to Stone Cold Steve Austin or Chuck Norris after being nationally splattered with race oriented anti-white headlines across the country.
even on TL, how many times do we see a thread title of "lesbian woman does such and such" or "Islamic dude does X and Y" even though the fact that they were lesbian/islamic really had nothing to do with the crime? Pretty damn often if you ask me. It's sadly the way we've all been wired to think implicitly, including myself
Take it beyond TL.net. Anywhere you go in this world, people are described by the ethnic traits.
If you're telling your friend about something you saw that was funny, do you start it off with "There was this tall, bald man who _____" or do you say "There was this black guy who ____"
The reason race came into play was because the author was arguing that if it had been white people who had committed the crime, the story would have made national headlines. The story may be a little prejudice but definitely not racist. It was probably written by an enraged family members or friend. How upset/angry would you be had this happened to your daughter or sister and received no media attention whatsoever. I would be beyond enraged.
Nevermind. I'm not going to be able to effectively share my thoughts without coming off as quite racist. Chances are somebody has already replied to this though and screwed me.
Fuck the media and fuck race. All I'm concerned about is that these sick fucks get what they deserve. Calling them "animals" is a insult to living things. I hope they die painfully and slowly, and hopefully repeatedly.

You, too, huh? My problem is that the administrators and moderators let it run rampant. You'd think a website and forum regarded as the premier foreign BW community would have at least some standards.

http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=51895 been done already... the mods say "if it's funny and meant as a joke" then they let it slide. if it's not, then ban. also if it';s a veteran user with alot of posts etc; they can get away with it... it;s all part of the commandments
6. THOU SHALL RESPECT FORUM VETERANS
All other things being equal, we will give preferential treatment to site members who have been with us longer (as reflected in their post count + length of time with us as a registered member). It�s a simple recognition of the quality of these people. Longevity and contribution are prized commodities around here. In a similiar vein, "known" pro/semi-pro players will also be treated with deference (yes, quite a few hang out here). Don't complain - these guys have earned it.
Remember: we ban little girly-kids all the time because they sign on thinking they can say and do whatever they want to whomever they want right from the get-go � just like they�re used to doing at other sites. That attitude won�t work here. That�s a promise. As far as new users are concerned (i.e. anyone with less than 500 or so quality posts to their name), this site is Holy Ground. The veterans are the users who�ve consistently shown respect to the site and to others and that�s why they�re still here. Show them some respect.
In practice, this policy means a user who has 1000+ posts may be able to get away with a few minor transgressions in etiquette with just a warning. If you�re at 50 posts and you try the same kind of stunt, then we may just ban you. Harsh? Yes. Unfair? Most definitely. But that�s the way life is. Learn to live with it.
This also means you should think twice before calling that guy with 5000+ posts a jackass. If the guy�s been with us that long, chances are YOU�RE the one being an idiot. Some battles are just not worth fighting � just move on.
I hadn't heard about this until this thread. It hurts me that this wasn't all over the news for a while. On the other hand I couldn't help but hear about the Duke rape scandal about 5 times. I think that's why I don't like watching the news.

edit: Also, you grow distaste for an entire ethnic group over the actions of a handful of people? You mean to say this reinforces your underlying racist feelings, mirite?
Yes, I am serious. I'm a decent person who rarely, and I mean rarely gets angry at anything. But this was so disgusting. For a COUPLE OF MINUTES, I felt like going to any black person and telling them to go fuck themselves. I can't help the way I feel. And if you don't understand than congratu fucking lations, you grew up in a better neighborhood that was more culturally aware than I did.
Also, understand, I don't mean to be racist and I hope anyone who reads this article understands that it is FIVE PEOPLE, that any white man is just as capable (and there are cases where other races prove such) to do the same. Black has nothing to do with this but to help put light at certain facts I mentioned as such.

I'm sure you probably just said that to sound "cool" and to make a point (which was ridiculous and irrelevant), but still... Don't be a dumbass.
And if you were joking, you shouldn't be. What if this shit happened to your parents? Fuckface.
I'll probably get banned for "disrespecting vetern forum members" but I don't give a shit. You need to have some respect for the dead, especially from this kind of shit.
wow you sure showed me
lol
Good comeback. You need to get off your computer once in a while and experience the real world. Say stupid shit like that in real life. I guarantee you someone will kick your ass, no matter how smart/witty you think you sound.

It's actually a little bit more complicated and involves more details, but I'm not going to write a future autobiography
o rly, "just buying a couple of new businesses you think are promising" is a bit more complicated than that one paragraph? RLY???
I've often wondered if I was capable of killing someone. After reading what happened to these people I realize I could if someone I cared about got harmed.

Bet your ass if 4 white guys did this to a black couple it'd be everywhere
no it wouldnt
why rape black people?
Blatantly racist; rape is about a show of power, not sex. Being black and poor means you're "raped" in this country.
I'm not sticking up for criminals, but these violent crimes are rooted in the socio-economics.
so if theyre raped in this country and are already poor, why would people who know theyre "superior" rape someone to show "power"? That is why it would not be a headline.
Like why beat up a little kid to show power? you know whos gonna win. Why rape black people when they have enough problems already?

Giving and receiving such respect is a step towards seeing all people as just people. In a more ideal world then ours race would not be the issue. However, to achieve this ideal and break down the racial barriers, we do first need to show respect to others. Otherwise we'll just be at each other's necks till the end of time.

Wow, this article made me so fucking mad. Four out of five were men who committed this crime, and we all know that men make up far and away most of the murderers in society. Men are all animals. I wanted to go tell every man I saw to go fuck themselves.
Also, I noticed that all five of the perpetrators were under 30 years old. I wanted to go kick the crap out of every fourth-grader I could find. Those filthy young people are all criminals. We should lock them all up.
P.S. Men and gang members are synonymous. Also, young people are all vicious killers.
P.P.S. This case did get more media attention than most killings in the U.S. Anyone care to speculate whether it would have gotten more or less coverage if the perps and the victims were all black?
This is true as well to those asking about authenticity, there are plenty of other credible sources. I saw it on both Fark and Digg and they both linked different news organisations, but that was awhile back. (It would be a little strange if someone just made this up, no?) Also, I think that a lot of these arguments are backwards regarding rape, degradation, empowerment, socioeconomic factors et al, but I don't want to really write in response because I don't want to become embroiled in a big debate. I think you're oversimplifying quite a lot though.
