I know. White and Hispanic. It makes a mockery of these labels. My boys are White and Hispanic. I keep wanting to declare them illegal as well because of the font-of-the-line benefits it gets them. Well, they are straight As and all that, so don’t need affirmative action to help them anywhere.

Because the act takes intelligence and planning.

I’ve never known a man who had an abortion....maybe they are just trying to catch up to the ladies as it relates to body count.

54 of the gunmen were white, 16 black, and seven each Latino or Asian

As of July 2016, white Americans are the racial majority. African Americans are the largest racial minority, amounting to 13.3% of the population. Hispanic and Latino Americans amount to 17.8% of the total U.S. population, making up the largest ethnic minority.

By their own numbers whites are 64% of the mass gunmen, probably very close to the actual % of population. 19% of the gunmen were black, with 13% of the population. I think they forget we have calculators.

But that multiplier works for all males, not just white males. And if you look beyond mass shootings, black males make up a grossly disproportional number of perps.

Because another tribe travels in feral packs to do their killing and robbing.

Meanwhile in the Islamic countries, Achmed and Hussein are chuckling and saying to each other, “just wait my friend, as soon as these idiots disarm themselves, they will be easy pickins for us to massacre, praise Allah”

I guess what’s going on in Chicago doesn’t qualify.

Right?

A black “teen” guns down three or four people any given weekend in Chicago or Detroit or St Louis and ...crickets.

Not counted as mass shooters.

Thousands of blacks killing blacks every year. Just not all at once.

A Washington Post editorial 5/27/21 had the same conclusion.

Statistically the % of shooters being White men matches their % of the general population in the US so it’s more of a random chance.

Let’s be inclusive, why not make White guys the default shooters in all mass murders? Sort of like assuming that all women talk too much or that all Whites are racists whether they know it or not. Then we wouldn’t have to quibble about the ethnic identities of White/Hispanics and the dark (conscious or unconscious) bloodthirsty impulses thought to be characteristic of various population groups.
Although the default assumption may suffer from an occasional factual error, since most media influencers already assume White guys are to blame, why waste time castigating individuals for incorrect assumptions when the goading urgencies of the ‘news’ industry is so deeply invested in propagating the very same knee-jerk conclusions.
Additionally, now other default a priori assumptions begin to suggest themselves. Until the ‘peaceful’ Muslims declare jihad on the terrorists we just assume they’re all sisters under the skin.
Until ‘patriotic’ Democrats demand and publicly disclose the results of honest and comprehensive investigations into accusations of election fraud, that Joe Biden be considered an illegitimate office holder, stripped of Executive authority, and examined and reported to the people by a comprehensive team of highly regarded medical professionals.
And many more other such time saving, socially unifying, common sense assumptions, but you get the smart of it.
