It's no different than when you look at high levels of shootings or violence in inner cities among black people. It should never be used to make assumptions about race, but it's important to consider what it is about their environment and experiences that create the climate for these drastic events.

This combination doesn't really work with this discussion because that defines what is essentially being questioned here. You're saying that you don't care about the stats but that there's nothing wrong with calling out something based on a stat that's being questioned. There are a lot of mass shootings in the US on the regular basis that aren't nationwide news.
