uh...what do you think racist categories do in general?
how is your post not a de facto justification not only of the categories, but of the logic behind these categories?
unless you mean that the logic of racism is ok when you agree that individual or group x should be targetted in that way, using that kind of speech...but that's no better: how is this not simply a repetition of the logic that any racist would use? even the most vicious anti-semites that i have known, for example, make exceptions for the "good jews" that they know personally; even the most avowed racists i have encountered will react to being accused of racism by ticking of elements of a list of "good" individuals as a way of attempting to deny that they are racist.
Do you disagree that this kid is a freak? Like I said, he was a stalker, wrote disgusting stories, and eventually killed 32 people. Mentally stable people don't do shit like that.

"People are going to use what they can to verbally attack someone that weird". That is not saying that racist comments are ok. It is saying that these people most likely attacked him because he was a freak, not because he was Asian. Don't twist my words into racism.

When some are pissed off enough, they will use insults regarding to race or other uncontrollable things, not because they hate that thing, but because they are attempting to use whatever they can against them.
