Perhaps you should consider the fact that if this were a white person, the title would never have been "White Angry Man ATTACKS People in Walmart." It is only because this person was a minority, and Asian, not necessarily Chinese as so many people automatically assume, that the title of the video explicitly states his supposed ethnicity to subconsciously link his ethnicity with the negative attribute of "attacking people in walmart"--which makes it sound like he physically assaulted multiple people without reason. As others have said, his ethnicity has NOTHING to do with the video or his actions and is not necessary in the OP. This is not being "sensitive"--it's simply being right. I am not going to make assumptions about your race or ethnicity, but white people don't have to worry about having "WHITE PERSON DOES X" or "WHITE PERSON ATTACKS PEOPLE" because what they are doing is not attributed to their race or ethnicity but the individual's actions. Minorities do not enjoy the same privilege--so much of what they do is labeled and associated with their race that their individuality is lost. This is, of course, well beyond the scope of the video but clearly some of you need this spelled out for you.

Explained very well. We need to make a honest effort on trying to change out society where we just look at each other just like another human being and not by one's race.
