There are some idiots out there blaming the Korean community for this tragedy. I have Korean friends who received unfriendly looks when they went to local restaurant.

People are just stared at them and watch their every movement.

These people are really stupid. Don't they know that mental illness can affect anyone regardless of race, or creed.

Yeah, my mother just e-mailed me to say that she'd gone shopping yesterday (in Bethlehem, PA) and several youths had made fun of her accent.

Not sure if it was run-of-the-mill racism or aimed specifically at those who look Asian, but my family is of Korean heritage so of course there's always the worry that ignorant people are taking the opportunity to blame us all for the actions of one.
