    When a minority of any sort commits an act of horrendous violence: frothingfash indecipherable slurs

    When a white person commits an act of horrendous violence: Not all whites, strawman, lone wolf, unclear motives, unavoidable tragedy

        Originally yes

        Bu then they started using it to apply to non-whites as well, like noted a bit further down

          When I hear that an attack is a lone wolf attack - I just quietly think to myself “yes, this is an open expression of white supremacy in this country, and this person is using such term for terrorism to downplay a pattern of terrorism without knowing the full implications of it”.

          Does it apply to non-whites, ofc, it does… is the original meaning still there, yes, it is to me.
