Homocide and Mass Shootings are entirely different categories of thing. White people do plenty of Homocide as well. But mass shootings of mostly strangers is a pretty uniquely white thing in America.

whats better for a news article, reporting that "a bunch of bright, young students with big futures ahead of them were suddenly...", or to report "a bunch of gang members were found dead on the intersection between 12th and 18th street.. locals say that they were known for selling drugs, suspects appear to be rival gang x that wears a different color of diaper"

I'd suggest that in the current political climate they would LOVE to report on a bunch of gang violence especially by non-white people, especially anywhere even vaguely close to a border.

as to why its always a white male, i think they just have different culture lol.. like for example, ive noticed in most cases of school shootings and whatnot, they go into a whole backstory about how the perpetrator was abused, had a horrible childhood etc

They almost never were though. Like, the Dayton shooter I believe, the news has been reporting widely that he was bullied in school. Several people who -went to school with him- have since come forward to say that not only was he not bullied, he was himself a bully with a history of threatening violence especially against women.

yet when someone from a different race has a horrible upbringing, abuse like that, etc, most likely they wont even be going to school in the first place lol, imagine some young black boi who has no mom or dad so just hangs around on streets all day, people like that arent gonna be in school to carry out a shooting lol

'Black people don't do school shootings because black people don't go to school' is one of the most disgusting takes I've seen in a very long time. This is like, coming close to being bannable as racism, and you should seriously look inward if this is a thing you honestly feel.
