I would tend to Agree, the People of Korea had nothing to do with this crap
thanks for the agreement PJ and its good to see you 'round here again! what ya been up to?
This in no way, shape, or form has anything to do with Koreans, Asians or any group of people in general.I haven't heard anyone even make a veiled suggestion that his race had anything to do with this.
I can't help but think that if he had been of a different race, the issue may have been intimated, unfortunately.
yeah, I agree, it has nothing to do with them. It was nice to not have race be an issue for once in something so tragic.
