    Well lookie there, I was right

    No shit though?

    You look at the largest racial population and wonder why it represents the highest raw number figure?

    Looking at your source… (and taking population percentages from here… https://usafacts.org/data/topics/people-society/population-and-demographics/our-changing-population/)

    White: 54.2% while representing 58.9% of the population
    Black: 16.8% while representing 12.6% of the population
    Latino: 7.7% while representing 19.1% of the population
    Asian: 6.5% while representing 6.1% of the population
    Native American: 1.9% while representing 0.7% of the population

    The white population overall under represents per capita mass shootings. You SHOULD expect white people to make up the majority. They ARE the majority.
