my .02
This was a crime. The motivation was hatred so it is a hate crime. There are so many issues here including the alarming increase in spree violence, the availability of handguns, the alleged perpetrator's mental and physical health, and racial hatred.
The amazing thing about this story was that the victims fought back and prevented a massacre. I'm stunned that there aren't more people injured considering his intentions.

Good point @ Cream
This sick individual committed a hate crime. I don't know why that point is constantly being lost or downplayed.
But seriously, I have been in situations where people have chosen to use racial slurs in reference to me(the N word, etc.) and to be honest with you, my response really depends on my mood at that time. Sometimes, i tell them to go read a book, or get your mind off the farm, etc. I will never provoke physical violence. I'm too old to be going jail because someone else is an idiot.

I'm freezing my arse off. But wait, when you guys freeze your arse of, it'll be in the 80s down here. Might be going skiing next month in Kwazulu-Natal. Ain't that freaking great, I'm going skiing in Africa. I have just found a new mission in life, to ski in every continent. Done N. America, Australia and Europe, Need to do Asia and S. America.

Relavent I suppose . . .
I wait tables in a 'traditional'-style Mexican restaurant. The overwhelming majority of the management and kitchen staff is hispanic, and again the majority are from Mexico.
If you refer to them as "Hispanics" you'll get laughed at - they're Mexican, and prefer to be referred to as such.
If you refer to them as "Mexicans" but in a tone that connotes "Dirty Mexicans" or some other ignorant tripe, you're going to get your ass kicked like it's your job.
Honestly, I think this is the way to look at things - connotation is key. If you're white, people can call you white with no 'racist' overtones, even when angry. It can be like calling someone blonde. However, I think that it's apparent that there is far more history of using terms such as "black" or "colored" to connote something negative than there is history of "white" or "caucasian" with this connotation.
This may help to explain the feelings of SigmaChiCard in some small way, perhaps?

There is no such thing as "reverse" racism. Racism is racism is racism......it isn't exclusive to any one group. I take EXTREME offense at the term....it makes it sound as if a group being prejudiced against whites isn't really racism.
Personally, I dream of a world where there is no racism at all across the board. Not gonna happen, but I'd love to be there.
