South Korea's Foreign Ministry expressed its condolences, and said South Korea hoped that the tragedy would not "stir up racial prejudice or confrontation."
"We are in shock beyond description," said Cho Byung-se, a ministry official handling North American affairs. "We convey deep condolences to victims, families and the American people."
I hope it doesn't either... every time I think of this, I think of what happened to all of the Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor. Horrible.
