[edit] "Alex Kang" abuse
Someone seems to have a grievance with "Alex Kang," and has been inserting accusatory snippets of trolling text into the article reflecting this. I removed one the other day, and notice another in its place now. ("Among the thugs was Alex Kang who used a nail gun to totally annihilate two of the victims.")
I'm going to take this one out, too, but I don't see it as a career path.

[edit] Ridgeway School Incident
I'm not to happy about the description of the attacks at Ridgeway school. I would suggest that these paragraphs are in violation of NPOV and information is not actually borne out by the reference to metro.co.uk. For example, although the motive for the attack may well have been racist, proof is lacking. I also understand that some of those arrested were released without charge. Thugs is also an emotive term to use here. I lack the wikipedia expertise to make all the changes, maybe someone else needs to be bold? References from the Swindon Advertiser, as the local paper of repute, might be better than refernences to Metro which is after all some 80 miles away. Don't get me wrong - it was a horrific attach but let's stick to the known facts, please? Rob Burbidge 14:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
On reflection I've just removed this chunk. It's not relevant. Can I also warn contributors that the colloquial meaning of "Asian" varies from place to place. In the UK it tends to refer to those from India, Pakistan etc., reflecting the relatively large number of 20th century immigrants from the former Empire, whereas in the USA it primarily refers to those of Chinese/Japanese or other East Asian extraction.
[edit] External Links
The link to the BBC web site was about Asian cinema, and the only the thing it shares with this article is the title. Removed.
