Stop, it. Really. Please stop.

First, a U.S. state senator of Korean descent apologized to his colleagues. Then, the Korean envoy to the United States said he'd go on a 32-day fast to show his grief. And then, this embarrassment: The Korea Times, an English "newspaper" in Seoul, ran a front page unsigned box saying how the newspaper "deeply regrets" the fact that the shooter of the massacre was Korean. Folks, THERE IS NO REASON TO APOLOGIZE!!! Koreans here seem to feel a sense of shame about this. Yet, this is not a race or ethnicity issue. There are millions of successful, well-adjusted Korean-Americans, and some that get into trouble, just like any race, ethnicity, religion or other background. It was one messed-up kid. We should be able to leave it at that.
