Canadian TV: All Asians look alike
Wayne Chiang, who was already misidentified as the Virginia Tech killer once — by bloggers and by Geraldo, although journalists didn’t do so — finally cleared his name. He’s even become sort of a reluctant celebrity because of it.
That was a few days ago, though. But someone needs to send the memo to the folks at CTV, the big Canadian TV station. They ran a story about the killer that included pictures and videos of him — but interspersed were pictures of Wayne.
As he put on his blog, “To be misidentified once as a homicidal shooter was hell. To be labeled again within three days? That is UNACCEPTABLE. CTV will have you to believe that Asians with guns ALL LOOK [THE] SAME.”
He appears twice — with 41 and 20 seconds remaining.
NOT the killer, folks:

I am so glad that I sat that one out in Las Vegas. But in a way it’s too bad. I could have swung by and bought your lunch or dinner.
