Yes, the shooter is Asian American--which means that the tragic loss that our nation suffered yesterday will inevitably be followed by losses for the Asian American community. One can only imagine the responses that an act of such unimaginable violence will provoke. Acquaintances of mine, both Asian American and otherwise, have already predicted a host of responses ranging from media-driven stereotyping to actual physical violence against Asian Americans. This blog is being started to address two questions:
1. In your opinion, what effect will the VA Tech Shootings have on the Asian American community?
2. How do you think the Asian American community should respond to any negative fallout--including that which you predicted in your response to question 1?
