You're the only one struggling to understand here. The capitol rioters aren't being referred to as terrorists because of subjectivity. They're being referred to as terrorists because their actions fit the definition of terrorism. It isn't because most of them are white. It's because of their actions.

And again

No one cares if you went to college with people who clench their butt cheeks when they're expected to participate in a conversation about terrorism. You're trying to act like people are eager to call the capitol rioters terrorists "just because they're white" while also accepting that their actions fit the definition of terrorism. That's idiotic.

Again, when a white redneck type refers to the Muslims as terrorists and eagerly says the word terrorist over and over with seething anger he is communicating something different from a history professor who simply uses the word terrorist to refer to the 9/11 hijackers.

They are both accurately labeling someone as a terrorist, but there is a difference in their eagerness and their level of emotion attached to it that communicates something different.

What about this do you not understand?
