Nonsense.
I don't recall a single headline of the form Starving mentally ill minority person eats cat as last resort
The usual media outlets jumped straight on the illegal immigrants eating cats narrative with nary a shred of solid evidence.
If you're not seeing headlines vilifying non white and non christian suspects on the slightest whiff of wrongdoing then you're either fully acclimatized or commenting in bad faith.
The 22 day old nom de guerre strongly suggests the latter.

They simply don't cover the news instead of writing headlines like that.
Like when the woman in the NYC subway was set on fire, many major news networks simply didn't report it.

I certainly saw quite a bit about it and not just on Fox.
If it was a "White Supremacist" then the headlines would be completely different. The entire race would be unashamedly vilified by the media.
For attacks committed by other racial and religious groups, we see headlines tending more toward vagueness, avoidance of blame, insinuations of mental illness, and - very commonly - the attribution of blame to inanimate objects ("Car slams into crowd at Christmas festival").
