北卡大学三个穆斯林学生被杀。老美评论很有见解: 穆斯林美国人？我怎么没听说过天主教美国人？

I hate to point this out…but WHY are they being classified as MUSLIM-AMERICANS? Last time I checked, being a Muslim is a religious choice/affiliation…NOT a race/country. It is not the same as a German American, Italian American, etc. In all of my years I have never heard someone that was a victim classified as a Catholic American or a Jewish American or a Christian American. Whomever wrote this put their religion first as a means of inciting a polarizing backlash amongst the readers of this article. I, myself am a black man. If something should happen to me, it would say Black man suffered "whatever"…not Christian American the victim of a crime. Why does it matter now, except to fan the flames?

• 人家说的有道理。媒体用这个词就是为了煽情，没有别的动机。用媒体的逻辑，信孔子的是不是该叫孔子教美国人？？ -ctongtong- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/11/2015 postreply 07:25:53

• 虽然一些人不愿承认，其实在美国常听到各种分类：穆斯林、犹太人、摩门教徒、黑人、拉美人、共和党人... -评民- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/11/2015 postreply 09:52:45
