There is currently no indication that Muslim UCLA shooter Mainak Sarkar had any terrorist motives. Though his note has as yet of to be released. But of somewhat more interest is the question of why Sarkar was misidentified as a "white male".
One of the more obvious things about Maniak Sarkar is that he is not a white male. He can't be mistaken for a white male. But media coverage has prompted people to expect white male shooters.
It's a type of prejudice that we don't much talk about because it's a politically correct prejudice. It's a prejudice encouraged by the media. While Muslims certainly dominate terror statistics, there have been Muslim mass shooters carrying out attacks unrelated to terrorism.
The most prominent of these was the École Polytechnique Massacre carried out by a man popularly known as Marc Lepine, whose real name was Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi. Gharbi shot nine women. Like Sarkar, the rationale was some combination of personal derangement and hostility toward women and people he blamed for his failures.
And yet Lepine continues to be misidentified in ways that lead people to assume that he was another white male shooter. Much like Sarkar was misidentified as a white male.
Beyond the obvious derangement of Islamic terrorism, Muslim societies are destabilized in ways that help spur violence even down the road among second generation immigrants. And yet the media is far more comfortable maintaining the stereotype of the white male shooter.
That’s like asking why the sun came up.
*snort!* Too bloody easy why. Because he was not obviously "black".
Must maintain the narrative, after all.
White Devil
If you have to ask, you are too stupid to comprehend the relevant issues.

It’s very simple...white males are the German Jews of the 1930s. We are to be done away with...turned into Satan...then slaves. If I were in my 20s I’d be thinking Russia might not be a half bad option right now.
George Zimmerman is still a White Hispanic too.
Maybe the Media does not want to add more fuel to the Trump fire. If we don’t get Trump in control, the medial will let radical Islam gets in full operation after they have recruited their army of terrorists.
Why does the author think he’s Muslim? He’s Indian and his bio says he’s areligious.
This is the first I’d heard that he was Muslim. What is that called? Sudden Jihad Syndrome?
The reason the shooter was said to be white is simple. The first descriptions of the shooter was that he was dressed in black, carrying gun, running on campus. A white guy. Those early identifiers were students seeing COPS RUNNING WITH GUNS. No one saw the shooter running on campus after the shooting. For a good reason. He was bleeding out in a tiny office.
So it was an honest mistake this time; the cop seen running must have been white.
When ppl say, America is a racist and sexist country. I agree. Its racist/sexist towards White Males. Majority of Democrats and GOPe are racist/sexist
Yaelle: This is the first I’d heard that he was Muslim.
UCLA student editor discovers that the shooter’s religion on his Twitter profile was changed – from Islam to Hindu – within hours of the campus shooting, which killed a UCLA professor as well as an ex-girlfriend in Minnesotastan.
Bingo. You are correct sir. The entire government hates white people. I believe that is the reason the government will never allow a white backlash.
Racism runs rampant in America, but not the kind the media want people to think.
Zimmerman is still alive and didn’t have the potential cure for...________________.
I suspect that the corrupt media is taking advantage of the idea that, as a consequence of first impressions and our faulty human memories, it will be easier to eventually rewrite history and assure many low-information voters that the UCLA shooter is a white male.
Non-black mooslim, (notsoholy ramandaniro...)
If he were black they would have hid that too for as long as possible.
