Do you mean Middle Eastern? That would eliminate the country with the largest Muslim population.

Do you mean Arab? That would eliminate Iran.
Sunni Muslims are Iranians (live in Iran) and they are Arab.

I was actually in the mall today (for investgation not shopping) and the fire alarm went off. There was no smoke but I did start to leave the mall quickly because the thought crossed my mind that it could be a shooter and someone pulled the alarm. Luckily it turned out to be nothing.

Ok he is hispanic, big deal. He wouldn't be the first mass shooter who is hispanic. We don't know anything besides the claim he might be light skinned.
That's great! You don't consider these factors when hearing about someones crimes/actions against humanity. That is your truth and your approach.

Some do and this is very reasonable considering the times we live in and what is being shoved down our throats by media outlets.

In a world where someone can be accused of a hate crime vs. a crime depending on the characteristics of the victim vs. established intent, people will only follow suit.

Glad you got out when you did. Ironic that the same mall has this happen.

Isn't this beyond common sense or has PC'itis got ya?
In PC world...

Was the killer a man or woman?

A: I'm not sure...l don't judge gender based on appearances.

What race was the killer?

A: I'm not sure...I don't really pay attention to stuff like skin color. Plus it's hard to judge because we are all somewhat mixed race.

Thank you, we will try to find this murderer.

Hehe - I'm sure the police gave the "Hispanic" descriptor based on a hunch that the murderer's ancestors were from Latin America.

Hard to tell. My tinfoil hat and I honestly think that the authorities/media blur images of suspects like this before releasing them to the public.

Yea, I could be way off and it's some emo/goth loner Hispanic kid who can't get a date. We will know soon enough but odds are...
