To be fair, none of the major news sites are saying the suspect’s race, because the police haven’t released it yet. I don’t think it’s good journalism to speculate. In any case, Jezebel put the motive on the headline, so why don’t you go ahead and infer??

But I’m sure if it was a threat against black students you would speculate the same way.

I wonder why the race of the wannabe shooter is so insignificant (for a change), that you don’t even bother to mention it? On second thought, I’m not really surprised.
