Brimelow Not Alone in Exploiting VT Tragedy

By immigrationprof

We (here) previously discussed the efforts of Peter Brimelow to make restrictionist hay out of the Virginia tech tragedy. Sadly he is not alone.  The Anti-Defamation League has a story on its website (here) (“White Supremacists Blame Immigration, Asians For Virginia Tech Tragedy”) documenting how, in the wake of the tragic shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, extremists and white supremacists and conspiracy-oriented Internet forums and Web sites have focused on the ethnicity of the killer in an attempt to blame Asians, immigrants and other minorities for the deaths and to spread a message of hate.

I hope that cooler heads will prevail.
