No, you don't get it. Let me spell it out for you:
Islamophobic hate crimes are such a small problem that white people in America suffer more hate crimes. Now consider how laughable the idea of anti-white discrimination is in America, let alone anti-white hate crimes. Have you ever heard of one? I've lived here all my life and I haven't outside of some obscure revenge crimes during the violent parts of the civil rights movement.
I mourn the loss of three innocents as much as anyone, but this incident represents nothing more than a crazy person murdering 3 people. Statistically speaking that's going to happen a few thousand more times this year even if we stopped everything and devoted every possible resource to this problem. Are we going to have massive internet debates about all of them? No, because unless news organizations and posters on the internet can spin an issue into more than it is, it apparently isn't worth talking about. In this case it so happens that the murderer was an atheist and his victims were Muslim. If the murderer was Hindu and his victims Christian this thread would not exist even if every other circumstance was identical.
Exactly. I called the OP on this previously in this thread, but he never replied - no big shock there.
