I can't imagine what that must feel like to a poor child just wanting to learn and interact with their friends at school.
The way i see it anyone who goes out on a pre mediated murder/attack to go shooting or bombing , or stabbing etc is a terrorist, and no skin colour or religious background will change that for me. Even random acts of violence is still a form of terrorism... but to actually plot and get weapons etc that solidifies it more.
The attempted assassination of Trump was an act of terror .
Another example the Jo cox killer was a terrorist, you could argue his race was brought up as it was a white far right gun nut ... because we all know his motives were political aswell as him being a complete lunatic.
Whether you like it or not race , religion , culture & politics play a part in it all.
Your strange notion of us treating it differently if the killer was white isn't true and is kind of insulting , i can't speak for everyone of course as we all have our different opinions.
But you do realise there's white muslims right ?. And white people get radicalized aswell from allsorts of extreme stuff out there . An now with social media... there's all types of horror out there being drip fed to impressionable people, and people full of hate.
Look at that young guy in America a while ago who posted videos online who was a hardcore incel, he went on a murder rampage just because he couldn't get a girlfriend. we're living in extremely scary times unsafe times.

It … blatantly, blatantly is true, though. If it’s not true in your individual case then so be it but that’s the extent of that. Beyond that you shut up and let other people’s actions speak for themselves.
I honestly thought you were different, GH. I know you ain’t gonna be crying into your pillow tonight just because of what some stranger on an Internet-forum has said but I’m disappointed in you. I mean, for God’s sake, LT really even went there with the Kool-Aid reference (blatant racism) and you’re still defending him? Where’s the motive for that coming from and in what universe is that even remotely defensible?
Also. You’ve said it yourself. White men get the ‘mentally unbalanced incel’ label. Terrorism it might be in technicality in a way that squares with your understanding of the terminology when it’s used in an equitable way but that’s not how most people refer to white males who commit acts of mass-violence (least of all LT) and you must know that. And like I said, man even went there with the Kool-Aid reference. That’s just totally below the belt.
