the oriental kid a student in the chemistry department at lehigh u put his knowledge to work trying to poison his black roommate with various chemicals.
Why do these students have so much trouble with their black roommates?
Yang, a senior chemistry major, was charged Dec. 20 with poisoning his roommate's food, drink and mouthwash with thallium over several months, causing the victim, Juwan Royal, bouts of dizziness and vomiting. Royal was so sickened that on two occasions in March campus police were called to his aid, authorities said.
Investigators think Yang bought the odorless, colorless chemical, once sold as rat poison, online, Morganelli said.
He was initially charged in April with vandalism and ethnic intimidation after Royal, who is black, found racist graffiti in the room.
Police said Yang wrote the N-word and "GET OUT OF HERE" in marker on Royal's desk in their room at Warren Square and also trashed Royal's television and bed, the Morning Call reported.
