Excerpt:
Elliot Rodger story is being framed through the lens of white media
By Sam Louie This blog was originally posted at SamLouieMFT.com and is reprinted here with the permission of the author.
It’s peculiar as an Asian American psychotherapist and former journalist to watch how issues of violence and race are covered and reported by the media. An example of this is the news reporting of the carnage committed by 22 year old Elliot Rodger on Isla Vista near Santa Barbara where Rodger killed six people before killing himself. The media depicts him as a young, white psychopath with mental health issues who had a fixation and deep hatred of beautiful white, blonde women, especially those from sororities.
Yet, what has been lost is Rodger’s own mixed-heritage as the child of a Chinese mother and British father. The media downplays race when it wants to but highlights it when it’s to their advantage. In mainstream media, it will be hard to find reports that detail his feelings of racial ostracism and the impact it had on his feelings toward other minorities. Keep in mind, this was a guy who had significant venom towards Blacks and other Asians who were able to have white girlfriends. Part of his animosity is due to his feelings of inferiority of not being “good enough” as someone with mixed-race. The media incorrectly describes Rodger in many broadcast and print stories as White. <snip> ...we as Asian-Americans will continue to wonder if this could have been prevented if there was a larger Asian community that could’ve embraced him as one of his own.

4 suspects sought in deadly Gaslamp fight SAN DIEGO — Authorities asked the public for help in identifying four people wanted in connection with the fatal beating of a 25-year-old man during a weekend dispute in the Gaslamp District. Michael Beaver got into an argument with the group for unknown reasons in the 500 block of F Street about 1 a.m. Sunday, according to San Diego police. After exchanging hostile words with Beaver, three of the suspects — two men and a woman — pummeled him in the upper body, homicide Lt. Mike Hastings said. They then walked off along with the second woman, leaving Beaver unconscious on the sidewalk. Medics took the victim to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Surveillance cameras captured images of the three assailants and an uninvolved female companion, all of whom were all described as black.- (Black-on-white) |
