Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Cis white person commits heinous crime: “This is so sad, they were probably plagued by mental health issues that they never got treated for.”
Minority commits heinous crime: “THIS IS PROOF THAT ALL OF X GROUP ARE BAD. THESE PEOPLE ARE ANIMALS AND SAVAGES. I AM ADOLF HITLER, COMMANDER OF THE THIRD REICH. LITTLE KNOWN FACT ALSO DOPE ON THE MIC.”
She wasn't cis though.
I think comrade is comparing the treatment of this shooter to a typical cis white male mass shooter. Since cis white male is the "default" it's never brought up as an influence on their behavior and it's not portrayed as representative of cis white males as a whole. If the person is part of a known minority group, however, their identity is used as a reason for what they did and suspicion is cast on the minority group as a whole, despite others in that group having nothing to do with whatever terrible act is being discussed. Hopefully that makes sense.

that isn't what was said
I love not thinking!
