The world is upside down!

"It's a tragic incident. But to find out that he is a Korean, I am ashamed and confused." You may hear that from any Korean these days.

There are many instances of crime and violence in the United States everyday. Some of them are committed by immigrants or resident aliens and green card holders of any nationality. However, it is nature of America.

When you live in America, you are under control of American culture and American media. You are Korean or Chinese or whatever, but you are more American. As a permanent resident, it is the States government responsibility to provide you with social security. The government is responsible to determine if you are eligible for a gun or not. He is responsible to diagnose your mental illness. And when he fails to do so, he should be ashamed.

It is foolish. Whenever such a crap happens in the states and it turns out that the criminal was originally from another country, concerns rise about immigrants and resident aliens. They generalize it to all foreigners. The American media has induced this perception that the national security is under threat. Everybody in any part of the world is alarmed for America's national security! It is a nightmare for any prime minister from any country that when in the next morning he reads the title in the first page of the local newspaper that “the gunman identified as ...” he finds his country name there.

The gunman of Virginia tech was suffering seriously from mental illness. But instead of diagnosing his illness and protecting him, America gave him a gun “legally”. America is to blame. America should apologize to Korea.
