It would have been this one:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/

And in that one, there's a "supplementary note" defining mass shooting as one with 3 or more deaths. I don't know how that would affect the total and was more interested in shooter demographics which turned out as expected. In truth, I was expecting a higher percentage.
