Regardless, those are excellent points and I would say they do amount to racism in one form or another.

Huh, acts of terrorism are acts of terrorism no matter if people are there are not.
The guy blowing up pipelines in Western Canada is a terrorist. The people firebombing the recruiting center is a terrorist.
Its the use of violence to terrorize. destroying property with a bomb or a molotov cocktail even if no-one is around is still terrorism and shows a capability to escalate those acts.
