Of course, feelings don't actually match up to reality and scientific statistics.

In fact, the number of people who have perpetrated terrorism on US soil has overwhelmingly consisted of white males.

Let us just review. The bombing of the FBI buidling in Oklahoma was done by a white male. The shooting of innocent people in a church in SC was done by a white male. The shooting of people in a theatre in CO was done by a white male. The shooting of a congress person in AZ was done by a white male.

Clearly, white males are a threat to the safety of people in the US.
