A majority of mass shooters and terrorists in the USA are white, right-wing men and boys.

“...statistically just over half (57%) of the perpetrators of FBI-defined mass shootings since the early 1980s have been white...”

Are 71% of people in the US white males though? Because that’s the subset you should be using to talk about whether they are over or under represented.

Edit for context. deleted comment above said white folks are underrepresented as mass shooters because they make up 71% of us pop but are 54% of shooters based on above above comment.
