Every time there is a school mass shooting, we all assume it is a white kid

Is that racist?
Is that racial profiling?

I have no problem with it, because as humans we profile for all manner of things. It is how our brains operate. Hell it usually is little beta white boys doing this shite.

It's just that people get their panties in a wad when we assume race in other situations that tend to lean in a certain racial or ethnic direction.

Every time I hear about a shooting in BR I assume it's a black man killing another black man. I'm correct 90+% of the time. Is that racist or just an educated guess based on experience?

It is racial profiling.

My point is that it isn't bad

It's not racist. We observe trends in crime so we begin to think in probabilities.

I’m white as a motherfricker and I accept the historical fact that not very many school shootings are carried out by black folks.

The Orlando and Ft Hood shooters were Middle Eastern and this kid definitely wasn't named Ward Davis but yes, in general I expect mass shooters to be Muslims or angry white kids.

ETA - this assumes that we are ignoring all of the "mass shootings" in the hood that get zero media coverage

Because it's always a white kid.

I'm not seeing the dilemma here.

Just like when you’re in the drive thru line at Popeyes and the car in front of you has 4 separate orders and opens their door instead of rolling down the window....you kinda know it’s not whites or Asians in the car

YOU. JUST. KNOW.

It's a self built stereotype from what you have been exposed to.

^^^^ ..?
Eta: could the reason for not many school shootings in predominantly black schools be because most of these schools have metal detectors at entrances?

I’m sure there are plenty non-white school shootings, but they aren’t the mass shootings that make national news.

I don't think black kids are interested in shooting a bunch of random people.

Black kids are usually trying to shoot a specific motherfricker(s).

Yeah, which makes much more sense than this crap white kids keep doing.

Maybe “white people” are just more likely to let the rage bottle up than unleashing it for trivial things.

Maybe it’s a sympton of a more insidious disease
