10. Given that the country is 2/3rds white, I'd expect this to be true.

Weighting mass shooter race information against US demographic information, whites fall somewhere in the middle in frequency per capita. Interestingly enough native americans and asians jump to the top. This is using data from Mother Jones and the census, so I trust the data as well

Mass shootings aren't really a racial issue when you look at the data
(mass shootings follow US demographics more closely than murder overall)

however, it certainly can be said that it is a male issue
