Yes, slightly more than 50% of mass shootings are completed by white people, but the percentages of mass shootings by race is pretty similar to the demographic make up in the U.S. in general with Latinos being under represented.
White people make up about 59% of the population and about 54% of mass shooters.
Black people make up about 12% of the population and about 17% of mass shooters.
Latinos make up about 19% of the population and about 8% of mass shooters.
Asians make up about 6% of the population and about 6% of mass shooters.
Native Americans make up about 3% of the population and about 2% of mass shooters.
About 12% of shooters fall under "other" or where their racial background was not clear.
