Yup.  I've noticed that people have a lot more sympathy for the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and James Holmes than they did for Lee Boyd Malvo or Seung Cho.  Many people react to the former two as tragic characters who had something that "turned" them wrong.  And far more people react to the latter two as "they are evil".  I heard so many people say that the black Malvo was destined to be a criminal because he's black and that Cho was a terrorist and that because of him we need to improve our border security because you can't trust "them."

So many people do react so subconsciously just seeing the non-white killers.[/quote]

I don't know what planet you are living on, but I have never heard anyone express any kind of sympathy for James Holmes.  Zero.  The only responses ever expressed about. Him is that he is a scary, crazed monster.

This is not a race issue.  The puzzle pieces don't appear to fit together on this kid.  With the others, including the Columbine and Sandy Hook shooters, there were things about the kids that on face value provided some logic and with this terrorist there is nothing at first glance.  [/quote]

Do a google search on "Lee Boyd Malvo sympathy" and the only hits you get are ones talking about how he was sexually abused as a child.  Do one on "Seung Cho sympathy" and you'll get no hits about people sympathetic to him other than because he was mentally ill.  Now try "James Holmes sympathy" and you'll get pages of sites with people who feel sympathy that his life was so messed up and what would cause someone like him to do such a thing.  try "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev" and even though he was only caught yesterday, there are already pages raising sympathy towards him and his troubled upbringing.

Yes, it is a race issue.  Take off your rose colored glasses and see the world as it is.  I assure you that despite all the white people who believe they live in a color-blind world/society, that from the other side of the coin,  we know that our society is still extremely color-biased.  There are many who claim to be color-blind, but still only go with subconscious feelings of what they are comfortable with, which is majority white. [/quote]
