<p>What are you talking about ? Black people are the happiest in Los Angeles and Oakland. In fact, Blacks in Los Angeles and Oakland tend to be the strength of Black people all over America.</p>
<p>Los Angeles is the city where all races respect each other the MOST. Bay Area is where all races get along THE BEST. </p>
<p>This is common knowledge among anyone whose traveled around the world and the US. IT seems as if you are the on in a bubble, unfortunately.</p>

Sorry, West Sidee, but you're a jerk and a moron. Please stay in California. We don't want you anywhere else.

<p>Fortunately in America, we practice free speech. I guess you are not taught to think that way.</p>
<p>I mean things like 'condoning'. How does Princeton 'condone' the crime by barring the bastard from campus and handing him over to the police?</p>
<p>nope my parents are fine with it. </p>
<p>i don't know where california comes into this? that seemed to pop out of nowhere... but what i DO know, is that i must disagree with you. there is discrimination everywhere, but i found princeton to be one of the safest and most tolerant campuses out there.</p>
<p>i also agree with iwannabebrown, way up there, that this was a sex related crime. yes he chose asian women, but as iwannabebrown said, he found it pleasurable. his aim probably wasn't to bring them down b/c of their race, but to get some kind of joy out of it.</p>
<p>Someone delete this ****in thread.</p>
<p>Everyone. This. Is. NOT. An. Isolated. Incident.</p>
<p>Cr* p like this happen all the time wherever there's people. You think crimes don't occur in Harvard? Yale? (insert random university name here)?</p>
<p>The point is, wherever you go, there will always be dregs of the society everywhere. Sexual harassment, robbery, and even murder are some of the crimes known to happen in other prestigious campuses, and is not isolated to Princeton alone. Have doubts? Just look at the ubiquitous laptop thiefs. (I had been saving up for over six years to get my laptop. If that's stolen, I'd consider the crime as serious as any harassment.)</p>
<p>The one reason why this crime caught some attention from the media was the unusual manner with which the crimes were committed.</p>
<p>West Sidee, say something constructive instead of directing invectives at Princeton just because of your personal feelings. </p>
<p>For reference, Harvard crime statistics:

<p>Which is why I defended your First Amendment rights, genius. If I didn't believe in freedom of speech (and by the way, it's people like you who cause me to revise my opinion), I'd have asked for the CC equivalent of a gag order</p>
<p>^ Pegdiver, you seem to be the only logical one on this entire thread. Everyone else cannot seem to argue without getting nasty.</p>
<p>Shame that we have to lose someone like you. I hope you enjoy your college experience, and watch out for your drinks at all costs! LOLZ</p>
<p>i was disagreeing with YOU west sidee. i didn't post fast enough tho...</p>

<p>People who cannot argue logically, and get frustrated at the truth, those are the ones that society should feel pity for. For they do not know how much they cannot achieve.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, what did pegdiver say that was fundamentally different from what anyone else said? The first part of her post, that Princeton is a safe and tolerant campus, was first stated by at least four posters before we all got mad at you, and the second part is quoting a previous poster.</p>
<p>Hey, I hope Princeton reverses their policy of defending racial crimes against Asians. </p>
<p>If they do , then I have no beef with them. Free speech rules.</p>
<p>i think he mistook my "i disagree with you" as disagreeing with cevonia, not with him (west sidee) but i posted kinda late....</p>
<p>Peg, I knew u were disagreeing with me, but the way u did was much more acceptable to me than the nastiness others engaged in. LIke I said, you are a typical californian. Everyone else in the east coast is angrier and stuff cus its more crowded, more old, more stagnant, worse weather, less progressive, etc...</p>

"Princeton is the place he (the accused criminal) really wanted to come," the graduate student who knows him said. "He wants to be a professor, surely, in academia. He had a lot of progress on his research project, so it's a pity that he cannot continue his work . . . I will be so sorry about it."
Seymour and other members of Princeton's mathematics department declined to comment on Monday, citing a desire to respect Lohman's privacy.

<p>Seems to be a poor way to handle the situation. To gloss it over and make excuses for him. Thats all I am saying. It seems that Princeton cannot take criticism very well. Kind of scary actually.</p>
<p>Cannot argue logically? You are the one with the logic problem. You are the one that took the actions of a sick and most probably mentally disturbed person and construed it as an example of the active anti-Asian discrimination at Princeton. You are the one that concluded that when the police did not charging him with a race crime that the University had 'pressured' them so as to 'cover up' their discrimination. You are the one who further stated that this type of thing doesn't happen anywhere else and that Princeton is being shamed, when the numbers reflect that it does.
I'm not the one with logical fallacies falling out of my head.</p>
<p>how are they defending racial crimes?! as MANY ppl have stated, they kicked the guy out and handed him over to the police. that's not what i'd call defending...</p>
<p>that's ONE quote from ONE person on campus. that person isn't representing princeton as a whole</p>
<p>How are they making excuses for him?! Where in that excerpt are they making excuses for him?!</p>
<p>^ Peg, I just disagree with the way the article was written. Look at the way it ends. It almost seems to suggest that he should be allowed to come back. </p>
<p>To me, it seems that this is indicative of a deeper problem with the "Princeton Mentality" if anything.</p>
<p>ugh this is idiotic, i'm leaving</p>

<p>Here I will post it for the 4th time in this thread alone.</p>

<p>no, it is trying to prove the point that stories like these always try to prove:</p>
<p>you can't judge a book by it's cover.</p>
<p>The point of that student's quote is that he seemed like perfectly normal guy, not one who pour semen in girls' drinks and then whacks off with a mitten full of hair.</p>
<p>Get off your *<strong><em>ing california high horse. Illogical little *</em></strong>s like you give liberals a bad rep.</p>
