That is what we call selective use of statistics. The vast majority of murders are intra-racial, which only gets attention when an African American is killed by an African American. And the FBI numbers are self-reported by local police departments — especially on race and ethnicity. More importantly, the numbers obscure the intersection of homicide with other crimes — a botched robbery that ends with the murder of the victim is recorded as a homicide, the same as the case of a racist like the Kentucky shooter targeting black victims.
In any case, the specifics of this case are pretty clear — in the shooter’s words and actions, in his choice of victims — even if you appear uninterested in looking at them.
