2019 Mass shooters...yep I knew it all white
Posted on 03/26/2021 8:48:24 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat
...I have assumed for years that mass shooters are overwhelmingly white males, because I keep reading that. If we look at the seven mass shootings so far this year, 57% of the perpetrators were black. But small datasets lead to misleading percentages: add just a few more white shooters, and the percentages change drastically.
Longer timelines must be considered. Statista reports that between 1982 and March 2021, 54% of mass shooters were white, 17% black, and 8% Latino. Wait a minute — Latinos can be any race. Nevertheless, whites are 73% of the U.S. population, and blacks 12.7%, so whites are very under-represented while blacks are over-represented.

Couldn't it be argued that gun control is racist because it deprives non-whites of a favorite activity-- killing whites or killing people of their own race?

Are Spaniards White or Hispanic?
What about Portuguese?
I can’t even begin to wonder about Brazilians.
Spaniards are Caucasian. There is no such Race as Hispanic. They are three Races, Caucasian, Mongoloid. and Negroid. Hispanic is the figment of the imagination of some Washington, D.C. Bureaucrat.
And just to confuse the matter more completely, in Texas, Latinos or hispanics are considered to be white, if that is what they claim, according to DPS.

Well, start by wondering about hundreds and thousands and work your way up to Brazilians.

Hispanics are an ethnicity. It’s all good until you start including Hispanics in crime data as Caucasians as is commonly done. This is a problem because, let’s face it, Americans want to know: 1) how many crimes are committed by whites 2) how many crimes are committed by blacks and 3) how many crimes are committed by browns and a few statistic nerds might care to know 4) how many crimes are committed by Asians and 5) how many crimes are committed by “other” but most of us really don’t even want to know that. Don’t even call them “hispanic”. Just call them “browns”. If you aren’t exactly white but you aren’t exactly black and you aren’t exactly Asian, you’re brown. When you start mixing up the races in the data, it gets too confusing and I think it’s done that way on purpose to muddy the waters. The picture just isn’t clear even when they separate hispanics by ethnicity. It’s just one of many examples of this government treating the American people like mushrooms- they keep us in the dark and feed us nothing but BS.
Couldn’t it be argued that gun control is racist because non-whites are disproportionately poor and gun control deprives poor people of a means of self defense?

—
Portuguese and Brazilian are not Hispanic.
Brazilian is Latino. Portuguese not.
It’s weird convoluted rules made up by leftists.
That would be the sane thing to argue. But we are living in insane times and are ruled by insane leaders who were voted for by our insane neighbors.
So I think the saner thing to do is to use an insane argument, such as gun control will make it hard for minorities to kill white people and, because we white people are oppressors, we should want many among us to be killed by allowing minorities to take righteous revenge against us.
No,they're not. It's a word invented by the government to replace "Spanish Surnamed Americans" on Affirmative Action documents.
I actually threatened to legally change my last name to Gonzales or Gomez over this crap.
What would George Zimmerman say?
Actually, non-Hispanic whites are 60% of the USA population.
White European-Americans are 58%-59% of the USA population.
The Census Bureau and the FBI count most North African and Middle East immigrants as white.
The Arab-American murderer in Boulder will be officially counted as a "white" murderer.
FBI crime statistics have a very precise definition...
(1) A crime with at least four gunshot murdered persons, usually in a public setting.
(2) The crime is NOT gang or family related.
(3) The motive of the crime was NOT robbery.
(4) The victims, or most of the victims, are complete strangers to the shooter.
Chicago, Chicago, that todelling town.
