... but all the mass shooting are (mostly?) by white young adults and disenchanted middle age men. Black, brown and yellow all experience the same thing. Sure those other groups do violence too but specifically for mass shootings due to hate, bullying, mental health etc. (vs criminal activities) ... what explains that?

I wonder if white people are, on average, more at risk of isolation in the U.S. since they're less likely to have that built-in community and established family looking out for them like you'd have in many minority groups who are more likely to be going through the same kinds of things collectively.
And that's probably tied in with family and church and neighborhood communities becoming much less important in America than they were decades ago. It's just much easier to get lost.
When there are minority shooters (Virigina Tech), they seem to share those mass shooter characteristics.
