Can someone please explain why this attack keeps getting lumped in as race-motived?

For example, this LA article --

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-01-23/monterey-park-shooting-los-angeles-asian-communities

My issue is that it was done by a fellow Asian man. It clearly wasn't race motivated.

There are other reasons for attacks that are not race-motivated - e.g., the columbine.

Maybe it was a result of mental illness or other issues. It does not appear to be a result of race.

As a minority, it is very upsetting to me that this attack is called race-motivated without any regard to the fact that the attacker is the same race.[/quote]

Yeah I don’t get that either. Kind of waters down the racial argument when it is used so inaccurately. [/quote]

WTOP has an article about what to say to support the Asian community following this shooting. While the article acknowledges the shooting wasn’t racially motivated, apparently there are special ways to support.

Seems strange. [/quote]
