After watching these latest tragedies occur I couldn't help but notice that no one used the word "terrorist" to describe Lanza. Clearly it was an act of terror and I have no doubt in my mind that if someone from the Middle East had committed those crimes there would be massive sh*tstorm against all of the people who practice the Islamic faith. Do you guys think that word "terrorist" has cometely associated itself with Muslims/brown people/Middle Easterns?

Terrorist acts are usually assigned towards individuals working together in an organized manner to use fear to get what they want politically.  Lanza was more of a criminal element.  I would say that you would be correct in seeing that terrorist is being heavily assigned to Arabs and Muslims at this point.
