We don't know the details yet. But, if this stabber was a white kid, we'd all be talking about mental health. Non-white kids of immigrants can also have mental health issue. But the worse of the country jump straight to racism, blaming the culture of the immigrant. If this lad grew up here, he has been surrounded by our culture. If there is mental health issues, it's our fault it wasn't caught in time. If he went mental for cultural reasons, we can't wash our hands of that either. If we want assimilation, we can't other people.
Well said.
Thank you. I expected to be download badly. Nice to be wrong about that.
