Los Angeles Times Columnist Can’t Believe Texas Shooter Was Latino
27th May 2022
A Los Angeles Times columnist expected the Texas elementary school shooter to be a “white supremacist” and was disappointed to learn he was a Latino.
“When I heard that a gunman had killed multiple schoolchildren in a predominantly Latino town in Texas, I immediately thought: white supremacist,” Gustavo Arellano wrote in a Wednesday column. “How could I not?”
Arellano said his “stomach dropped” when he learned the mass shooting was in fact carried out by an 18-year-old Latino named Salvador Rolando Ramos. In an attempt to explain why a “Latino-on-Latino mass school shooting” would take place, Arellano blamed the tragedy on Ramos’s assimilation into American culture.

All the cartel violence must somehow be linked to the assimilation into American culture as well.
