Although there's no settled definition of "mass shooting," typically it means that at least three people were killed by gunfire or at least four people were wounded.
In 2021, 75% of mass shooters were black. Only 12% were white.
3/ Serial killers:
Despite being only 13% of the population, blacks are 40% of the serial killers.
4/ As far as the pedophile allegation about whites goes, I've been unable to find the data, and when I've asked those making the allegation, they've never produced it for me. It may true that whites have a higher rate of pedophilia than blacks, but I haven't seen any data on it.

An observation I have about American political discourse is that you see more retarded people on the hard-right and more mentally ill people on the hard-left.
I'm creating a Twitter list of accounts who are good examples of this. Any suggestions?
For example, Jesse Kelly seems to be an intellectually-challenged rightwing guy, and Saira Rao is a great example of a leftwing account with apparent mental health issues. Suggestions like this would be appreciated.
By the way, I think the research backs up my observation. At least among white Americans, the mean IQ gap between liberals and conservatives (which didn't use to exist) is growing, and Big 5 neuroticism is significantly higher among progressives than conservatives.
I've often wondered about what BIPOC actors in Hollywood have thought about the decades-long prohibition against them being cast as the bad guys in movies, TV, and commercials.
Until now, I'd only heard this unspoken rule criticized by Denzel Washington and Samuel L. Jackson.
A loophole to the rule exists if a film is being marketed to black audiences and the main protagonists are also black. In such a case, the villain is allowed to be black.
Similarly, in commercials where the "smart" people are black, the "dumb" person is allowed to be black. You don't see this very often though. I've seen this maybe two or three times.
1/ I'm a huge admirer of Rufo's investigative reporting on CRT. It's the most important thing that ever happened in the anti-woke movement. But I've disagreed with him here and there since then. And I'll add this latest endeavor of his to that list.
2/ Unlike Rufo, I don't want public colleges turned into conservative institutions anymore than I want them to stay anti-conservative. But this appears to be DeSantis' and Rufo's explicit goal: Use the coercive power of the state to transform them into "public Hillsdales."
3/ "The new majority’s plan, Rufo told me... is to transform New College into a public version of Hillsdale [College[. 'We want to provide an alternative for conservative families in the state of Florida to say there is a public university that reflects your values,' he said."
The decoding of the human genome brought powerful tools to investigate the relationship between genes, race, and IQ. But fear of where this research might go led the best genetic database in the US to remove access to scientists investigating race and IQ.
The research findings on intelligence have been tipping over the past few decades in favor of those who believe race IQ gaps have at least a partial genetic basis. The left has waged a continuous campaign of smears, misinformation, data suppression, censorship, cancellation...
... grants withholding, and even physical intimidation and violence, to stop this research.
Activist scientist Eric Turkheimer famously wrote that if the hereditarian hypothesis were ever proved correct it would be like an "atom bomb going off."
If you think that the disconnect between the lousy academic performance of black students and their college enrollment percentage might be due to low performers dropping out of high school, you would be wrong: The high school graduation rate for blacks is an impressive 86%.
