To clarify, white people are actually slightly underrepresented in terrorism per capita; they simply constitute a significant majority of the population and therefore do most of the terrorism. Therefore, while this tweet is technically correct, it should not be taken to mean that white individuals are more likely to be terrorists—it’s an ironic reflection on the skewed, racially motivated reality presented to us by media and politicians.

Ummm I don’t really know what actions you mean.
In any case, by most standards Russian individuals would be called white, haha.
I think that’s the point. Also, I think they are referring to Ukraine and interference with elections of other nations.
Ah I see. I don’t know that many definitions of terrorism include invasion and election interference—that’s another category of crime as far as I am aware.
TBH, I don’t know any definitions of terrorism that are self consistent (that being, including everything that is definitely terrorism while discluding everything that definitely isn’t.)
