Domestic stuff is on a different level IMO. Lots of crazies out there of all colors, etc. but no, not all mass murderers are white. Just days after the charleston shooting, there were 12 people shot in detroit and like 10 in Philly, including little kids. Media didn't say a word.

Does anyone remember Colin Ferguson ? He was the black guy from Jamaica who shot up a car load of passengers on a LIRR train during the evening rush!

Most, not all, mass murderers are white males.

And in my neck of the woods, Darren Deon Vann who has killed at least seven and was arrested last year:

Alleged NW Indiana serial killer charged with second murder - FOX 32 News Chicago


ETA: Actually, just for the heck of it, I found this ... basically, it looks like the percentage of white serial killers has been dropping and black serial killers has been rising.

Overall from 1900 to now, white serial killers have averaged 52% and black, 40%. But from 2000 and on, white has dropped to roughly 34% and black has risen to 56%.

Firstly as a total that should be expected becsue of the higher population.

Secondly depends on how you want to define mass murder, they usually use 4 or more killings.

That's a 4:1 ratio, it should be 6:1 for parity. Based on this data like murders there is higher rate of mass killings amongst the black population assuming 4 or more killings defines mass killing.
