Korea sex
PRINCETON BOROUGH -- A student petition drive seeking reparations from Japan for using sex slaves... Koreans at Princeton wary
PRINCETON BOROUGH -- A student petition drive seeking reparations from Japan for using sex slaves in Korea during World War II was postponed at Princeton University on Wednesday in the wake of the Virginia Tech mass murder.
Members of Princeton's Korean American Student Association (KASA) said their political endeavor, now in its second week, was in poor taste given that the Virginia Tech shooter was of Korean descent.
"Koreans on campus thought it would be inappropriate to ask people to sign a petition on past Korean tragedy while another grave massacre was perpetrated by a Korean," said Juyoung Chung, a sophomore international student from South Korea and an officer in KASA.
Meanwhile, some members of Princeton's Korean community fear that mass murderer Cho Seung-Hui's profile as a quiet loner seething with anger, could reflect poorly on them.
The behaviors of other Korean students may be unfairly scrutinized and judged in the wake of the nation's worst mass killing Monday, some students said.
On Wednesday, Princeton's campus newspaper, the Daily Princetonian, reported that Cho's older sister is a 2004 graduate of the University. Sun-Kyung Cho was an economics major who interned at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok the summer before her senior year and wrote briefly for the Princetonian, the paper reported.
