The eagerness of pretty much everyone to find their desired culprit in mass murders is pretty damn messed up.

Yeah, it's clear people will stick to this identity politics for quite some time. Almost as if the terms 'liberals' and 'conservatives' are used as bogeymen nowadays to hide the fact that they have nothing meaningful to say...

Well there is a bit of an asymmetry there still. Islamic extremism is an actual ideology that does motivate people to kill. Skin colour on the other hand, isn't. Saying "oh look, a white/black/brown killer, what a surprise", is really just racism. It's pushing the idea that skin colour actually determines behaviour. Which it doesn't.

So the 2 responses aren't equivalent in their principles. Even if people pursue with an equally worrying narrow mindedness.
