Most recent terrorist attack in the US was the 2019 El Paso attacks, which was a White American Male who killed 23 people
Before that another white american male in Poway (and an attack on a mosque earlier than that), another in the Pittsburgh synagogue, the Blaze Bernstein shooting, and if you don't include the ones where nobody died - the mail bombing attempts aimed at people like Obama and Biden
One thing all these terrorist attacks on american soil have in common? The perpetrator was a white american male.
This doesn't mean that all white american males are terrorists, but if we were to take the attitude that many have towards Muslims, white american males are at best supporters of terrorism.

I do not see why you introduce the race issue here. All the terrorist attacks in the USA after 1995 (last unabomber kill) have been performed by far-right extremists, and this includes islamists and american conservative nationalists. Terrorism in america is clearly a matter of politics, not of race.

The gist of the article is that the person was selected for this treatment because he wasn't white
The gist of the post was that's fine, because all terrorists are brown
The accuracy is that if you wanted to select people based likely to commit a terrorist attack in the US on appearance, you're looking for
1) Male
2) White
3) American
Clearly I don't think that means all White Male Americans are terrorists, but that highlights the absurdity of the anti-muslim movements that balooned 20 years ago and are still prevalent in western discourse.
