Days earlier a white male allegedly massacred eight people — six of whom were East Asians — in Atlanta, Georgia. Should we presume the shooter was motivated by racial hatred? Or should we allow the judicial system to determine the motive?

According to 11alive.com, "Since seven of the eight victims were women, and six of those women were Asian, the question remains if this is a hate crime."
Media bias is apparent.
The far-left main stream media seems eager to brand white suspects 'racists' when victims are not white. When reversed — the suspect is not white and the victims are white — the mainstream media nearly always ignores the racial element.
Such is the case with the mass shooting in Colorado where all ten of the victims were white. The suspect, Ahmad al-Issa, is reportedly from the Middle East and is ethnically akin to those who flew two airliners into the World Trade Center in 2001.
Media and confirmation biases aside, what do the statistics reveal about mass shootings?
According to mass-shootings.info, there were 610 mass shootings in the USA in 2020. Nearly all were ignored by the mainstream media. In 149 of the cases, a suspect was identified.
• 73 percent of mass shooting were [allegedly] committed by blacks
• 14 percent by whites
• 14 percent by Latinos
• 0 percent by E Asians
