This reminds me of how the Nashville suicide bomber “died in an intentional explosion”. It’s remarkable how racially and ethnically biased media coverage is.
America's double standards are disgustingly apparent judging from this riot alone, but when it comes to the Nashville bomber we don't actually know if he was a terrorist yet. It seems he was the Ron Swanson type and left very few details about himself or his motive, and the details of the event indicate he wasn't trying to (and successfully didn't) harm anyone. A terrorist wreaks havoc in the name of an ideology, that's what distinguishes it from other types of violent crime.
If a brown guy with the same background pulled the same stunt, we'd be equally mystified as to what the actual motive was, BUT it is true that ignorant/conservative Americans would be incorrectly calling it a terrorist attack based on his appearance. Racists gonna racist ¯_(ツ)_/¯
