Depends on how you define mass shooters.
but as for serial killers it's just that the original studies were done mostly around white people because miniorities being murdered were very low down on the police and FBI list of things to care about back when attitudes towards racism was more open by the government ... Copied to Clipboard!

Compared to other races even though whites are the majority race in America, mass shooting are still disproportionately done by white males.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/
Broadly speaking, the racial distribution of mass shootings mirrors the racial distribution of the U.S. population as a whole. While a superficial comparison of the statistics seems to suggest African American shooters are over-represented and Latino shooters underrepresented, the fact that the shooters race is unclear in around five percent of cases, along with the different time frames over which these statistics are calculated means no such conclusions should be drawn. Conversely, looking at the mass shootings in the United States by gender clearly demonstrates that the majority of mass shootings are carried out by men. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

You also have to remember that America is still a mostly white focused country. So a rich white kid getting a gun and going on a rampage is what the media put out there as opposed to say some poor non-white kid shooting a bunch of non-white people since the narrative of 'why did this happy white person just snap' sells a lot fucking more than 'black child gets bullied and takes a gun to solve the problem'
Even with suicides in the media it's heavily focused around white people too ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's also worth noting that the GVA link above can't really contribute to this topic because, although they collect all that information, they don't seem to provide any sort of summary statistics around the identities of shooters. So while it may provide the broadest possible definition of mass shooting, it doesn't really tell us much about the demographics based on that.

It seems obvious that race and gender aren't determining factors in what motivates one to be a mass shooter. Most shooters are white men, but that doesn't really tell us anything insightful.

As far as I'm concerned, this is evidence enough that your intentions are bad and what you're actually doing in this topic is intentionally spreading misinformation. Because you just spent quite a bit of time arguing that the data that claims that white people aren't overrepresented is wrong, and then you claimed that actually they ARE overrepresented, but you won't share your sources. You insist you have them, but that they're behind a paywall, but even so you won't share them. Unless you're willing to provide your sources, I'm calling your bluff.

As far as I'm concerned, this is evidence enough that your intentions are bad and what you're actually doing in this topic is intentionally spreading misinformation. When your definition for mass shooting is "more than x amount of injuries or deaths", you will never get an accurate picture. The real question is, why are we not talking about the gun violence that occurs in these communities that are grossly impoverished and underfunded. Why is it that white male mass shooters are the ones dominating the media when they are only a small number of the total gun violence. Why are we always so focused on a mentally ill white male from a well off family committing mass murder not connected to drugs or a robbery? We have solutions for this already. What about trying to find a solution to the gun violence that is a result of poverty and inequality? --- BLACK LIVES MATTER ... Copied to Clipboard!
