The Austin bomber was a young white man and the two people he killed were both black, suggesting it may have been racially-motivated terrorism. Perhaps he was part of the white nationalist movement. But we do not have sufficient evidence yet to reach that conclusion. 9/x
To some extent, this applies to white nationalists too. Angry young white men seeking to belong to something could latch on to the movement. But there are many more of them than Muslims in the US, so the case universe is larger and more varied. 3/3

I’d agree, especially w/ point 3. Reason (unfairly, of course) there’s a knee jerk “must be terrorism” to Muslim mass killers in the US is that’s been our experience w/ a group that’s a tiny fraction of our population. The majority pop. has had mass killers of all motivations
