what i don't understand is how someone can be "misidentified" as white rofl. how is that even possible? and aren't people from near east white anyways?
It happened, not just Omar, but several news outlets claimed that the shooter was a "white male".
He looks like a white guy to me, but the thing is, why did Omar feel the need to comment on his race? She purports that the news unfairly points out the race of non-whites when there is a crime. Idk what she's talking about, because I never see the news point that out. Rather, she, and the news jumped at the opportunity to claim he was a white male without even verifying it. Lo and behold, he was a middle easterner whose own brother said was mentally ill and paranoid about islamophobia. Possibly having his paranoia vindicated by people like Omar, and other members of the Democratic party using woke rhetoric which could have had an effect on his vulnerable mind. Now the news is asking what was his motive...
According to the U.S. census, Near easterners, and North Africans are considered "Non-Hispanic White".
But in matters of political rhetoric, Near Easterners are not white in the United States.
