Correct...

Most mass shooters have been white males.
Not entirely correct... If you go by the federal guidelines (4 or more people shot), yes more white males commit mass shootings. BUT... There are many more white males than any other ethnic group... If you go by per capita (which is a more accurate representation), you'll find very different results...

For example, since white males comprise approx 65-70% of the population, you would expect them to commit approx 65-70% of the mass shootings...

You would expect Blacks and Hispanics to commit approx 13-15% of the mass shootings each...

But this is not the case. White males commit less per capita, than either of the other groups...
