Craiglist's rants and raves is unfortunately where racists often go to spout off. While the goal of this blog is generally to keep the language clean and the discussion scholarly, I think it is important and interesting to bring attention to the types of racist discourse, stereotypes, and historical events that individuals reference when posting racist diatribes. No one ever brings up race when a serial killer or crazed gunman is white. White equals invisible and race becomes an issue only when the situation involves a person of color.
It is also interesting how the author attempts to frame this quite literally as an "us versus them" game whereby Asians are competing against (presumably) white Americans to see who can rack up a higher body count.

you asian fuckers are so chicken shit you never even look a white man in
the eye when you talk to him. your whole manner in front of white people is
totally submissive. only a fucking yellow coward would shoot un-armed people. i
piss on you and all your generations you yellow dog. and we still own the record
for killing you little yellow bastards; over 3 million japs in WWII, 1 million
north korean garlic eaters and 3 million heathen chinese in the korean war, and
nearly 2 million vietnamese slopeheads in vietnam
