People blame video games when school shooter is white, but not when he's black.

Study shows that when a black person goes on a shooting spree, people blame the black person, but when a white person goes on a shooting spree, they look for other things to blame, like Video Games, even though there's no link between video games and shooting sprees by white people, proving this sign is true:

Not really as "black" people also get their shootings link to video games too (lower percentage though):

The researchers also created a large database by collecting 204,796 news articles about 204 mass shootings in the United States dating from 1978 (a year after the release of the Atari 2600 game console) to 2018. A mass shooting was defined as having three or more victims, not including the shooter, that wasn't identifiably related to gangs, drugs or organized crime. The analysis found different results for school shootings than mass shootings in other settings. Video games were mentioned in 6.8 percent of the articles about school shootings with white perpetrators, compared with 0.5 percent for school shootings with African American perpetrators. However, video games were mentioned at essentially the same frequency in news articles about mass shootings at other locations for white shooters (1.8 percent) or African American shooters (1.7 percent).
