What’s “Korean” about the Virginia Tech killer?

A snippet from my post on Eteraz.org, wherein I argued that implicitly linking the Virginia Tech killer with the Korean community makes no sense given the seemingly standard American upbringing and overall profile that have emerged in media reports.

If his American childhood is not enough to convince, consider his major.  He decision to study, of all things, English–a degree widely considered to be little value on the marketplace that is avoided by most "normal" Americans and which is practically unheard of among immigrants and or even their American-born children–would seem to demonstrate an imminently American cultural sensibility and willingness to buck the conventional wisdom (and, if his parents are like many immigrants, the urgings of his family), not to mention a uniquely middle class American sense of economic security and trust in the economy to provide opportunities for those with "soft skills" and humanities backgrounds.
