Exactly. When these sorts of acts are committed by non-whites, they disappear quickly from the news cycle and the race of the perpetrator is not mentioned or not emphasized. Anyone even remember the name of the black man with a history of racist posts that killed 6 and injured 62 during the Waukesha Christmas parade last year? Didn't think so

Anybody remember if that black man was a participant in a community of racists? Didn't think so. There's a difference in policy between handling a lone nutcase and racist groups.
