So no. You can't just dismiss the idea that being part of the white majority is a privilege during tragedies like this.
It's outrageous to bring it up, and then use examples that are so drastically different. The Christian Identity Movement is hardly a large-scale organization with political ties and international underground presence. It's not a massive "terrorist organization." It's very important that people understand that massive difference.

You're right in that the hate crimes are unjustified, though. Again though, it's about identity. The media gave a generalized identity in that of a racial group, instead of what it really was.
