ken eng?!!

[kwak76]

Ok..maybe I was sleeping but I didn't know who this guy was until I saw him on youtube. First..all I could say is I am embrass to be Asian because of him.

I know in the past I had militant view points and I know in the past I don't really express too much love for non-Asian but this guy has been smoking beehives or something.

His thought pattern is all over the place. I don't know if he is madzinger or maybe Ric I don't know. His fucked up. I mean at least with me I try to have a conscious about things I do.

What's his story? can someone fill me in?

[kimtae]

He is the dragon king, what more is there?

[lopan]

This guy is a fucking sack of shit. I knew he was insane but this is over the top. Maybe he's an attention whore, or maybe he is sick but this in the end does not help our situation. Plus there was at least one Asian person killed...but I don't think that would matter very much to him either.

Kenneth Eng is a shameless self-promoter, wacko, racist, and is a detriment to Asian-American empowerment, and that's why I banned both of his accounts on aznforum.

[nskripchun]

What a dumb ass... I guess he obviously has no qualms about using a tragic event for shameless self promotion.

Oh...my....GOD!

Ok ok, apologies all around, because I'm also guilty of sleeping on the job. But now that I am done blowing chunks out of every orifice, I think I figured it out. This guy is not, as he claims, an oppressed former NYU student. He is a fourth-grader on Ritalin. Why?

-He is megalomaniacal

-He is angry all the time and doesn't know why

-He won't stop talking about cyborg-dragons

-He is anti-establishment for the sake of itself

-He whines about being picked on at school

-His editors publish his writing without proofreading it (Awww...little Kenny wrote us another story!)


I wholeheartedly agree that this guy is a total embarrassment, not because of his racist comments, but because he is so obviously desperate for attention. What he needs is professional help!

Eng is now being investigated by the New York City Police Department's Joint Terrorism Task Force for his comments and video.

And get this: Eng was committed to a mental hospital when he was in college.

Already a pariah, Kenneth Eng goes even lower
by Chloé A. Hilliard
May 1st, 2007 2:13 PM

Back in February, Kenneth Eng made news for writing a column titled "Why I Hate Blacks" in the Bay Area–based newspaper AsianWeek. Not a stunt—Eng apparently really did hate black people (and whites, and even other Asians, according to other of his writings). Embarrassed by the publicity, AsianWeek fired Eng and published a front-page apology.
But Eng is far more bent on destruction—or just plain bent—than anyone realized.

Eight hours after the executions of 32 students at Virginia Tech, Eng posted a grainy video of himself on YouTube. "Good morning, America," says an exuberant Eng from his New York apartment, "I'd just like to say that I just read about the Virginia Tech incident and it was the funniest thing I ever read in my life."

The video was pulled, and then reposted a week later. But now, Eng tells the Voice that he has something else to say about Cho Seung-hui's bloody rampage in Virginia: He wants credit for it.

Eng likes to believe that his own hate-filled writings about non-Asians motivated Cho, and as far as we can tell, he's serious. Eng also claims to "admire" Cho for the worst individual mass-murder in American history, and tells the Voice that he, at one time, planned to go on his own killing spree while he was a student at NYU, but couldn't afford a firearm.

"It's speculative but I think that there is a good chance that Cho may have read my work," says Eng. "I might have had something to do with [the VT shootings] because it's kind of conspicuous that [Cho] would shoot all these people so shortly after AsianWeek published all my articles." Cho, in his manifesto, railed against "you," making no reference to race. But Eng believes he understands why Cho felt compelled to commit the murders and applauds him for doing so. "A part of me wishes I was Cho," says Eng, who is the same age as the murderer, 23. "He is my hero."

To explain Cho's rampage, Eng points to the way Asians are stereotyped. "Look at Hollywood," he says. "How many Asian heroes have you seen? If you watch just a few minutes of television, Prison Break, Lost, and 24 all have Asian villains." To Eng, the Virginia Tech shootings were a victory for Asians in America.

Eng says Cho's life—his being institutionalized, stalking female classmates, and professors feeling threatened by his presence in class—eerily resembles his own. Eng was committed, and he was suspended from NYU after spitting on a white classmate. He also admits to stalking a white female student. "All the white and black kids cared about was sucking up to each other and that just really pissed me off," Eng says of his college classmates. "It would be OK if they kept it to themselves, but what they did was literally try to ruin my life."

Eng turned over examples of tension-filled correspondence with NYU officials during his days as a student. "I wrote a script where I stereotyped whites and blacks, and said that the average white girl is an absolute whore. The teacher went to the dean and had everyone in an uproar. No one would talk to me anymore. That's when I realized how disgusting these people were."

In a 2003 memo Eng provided between two Tisch School of the Arts deans, one official wrote: "It is my belief that Kenneth poses a real threat to the Tisch community and has the capacity to harm or kill someone . . . I would like to offer Kenneth the opportunity, in lieu of a disciplinary hearing, to withdraw from NYU with a refund for the semester."

Eng says NYU officials were correct to be concerned about him. "Frankly, I was planning on going to NYU and going on a rampage," he says. "The only thing that stopped me was that I couldn't afford a gun."

NYU officials declined to comment about Eng.

I think eng needs psychiatric help- or he's probably one of the more tasteless attention seeking morons in recent years.

I have a feeling it's a bit of both, actually.

[RebelAzn]

He is going about all the wrong way to vent his anger. What does he want to do? Get the attention of the cops so he can be in trouble?

With all these negative stereotypes and bad press for Asian male day in and day out, I won't be surprised if more young Asian men who get so pissed at this racist society and decide to go off in a violent manner. It is yet another problem we have to deal with as a community going forth.

You forgot, he also belongs to a sexual subculture that fetishizes furry stuffed animals.

I mean, live and let live, but combined with all the other stuff it just makes him a million times more gross.

I think all the stuff about anthropomorphic dragons has a strong sexual element.

Blech...
