I think it's a stretch, to out it mildly, to imply that gun violence stats are a persistent derivative of race.

That may be, but it's an objective fact that gun violence stats are strongly correlated with race. You are free to investigate or speculate on the underlying reasons for that. I didn't offer my perspective.

What are your theories on why the high end mass shooters are almost entirely of European descent then?

The mass shooting in Vegas, in Tasmania, in Norway, in New Zealand, etc?

As an objective fact (your words) extreme mass shootings are strongly correlated with race.

The rest seem more correlated with economic circumstances.

From what I see, it would seem most shootings in America are impulsive and reckless. A moment of rage, a perceived sleight or disrespect, over-excitement in the midst of a lesser crime such as robbery, for the sociopathic fun of it, etc. There is also an extraordinary disregard for the value of life - a recent example, though not firearm-related but it exemplifies the mindset, was the car thieves who hit and killed the cyclist deliberately for no reason. These are the domain of the black killer. It's usually random, spontaneous, thoughtless, and often even pointless. The exception involving any premeditation would be gang-related shootings.

Mass shooters are not so impulsive. They are patient, focused, and inspired. There's usually a great personal or political motive. They plan, prepare, train, strategise. This is the White man's domain.

Imagine the terror of a people with the killing proclivity of blacks and the killing capacity of Whites!

You might be surprised by how many "White" mass shooters in the US are on prescription pills (almost all of them), or are in fact Jewish/Asian/Hispanic. The US media loves a White shooter, truth be damned.

Why don't inner city gang members shooting other inner city gang members and hitting innocent people in the crosshairs not count as a mass shooting? If you look at the mass shootings of the FBI most wanted they're not 90% Columbine wannabes, they're 90% people who engage in criminal behavior and have a criminal record engaging in violence against others with criminals records and unrelated innocents becoming collateral damage

Because all hell would break loose if the general American public understood the magnitude of the problem of black violence and crime. It doesn't align with the interests of political or media elites to demonise blacks, while they rub their hands gleefully over the prospect of an evil White shooter.

According to Wikipedia, 4 of the 6 sources for definitions of mass shootings in America specifically exclude "gang" related shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_...

How convenient.
