Certainly, it IS irrelevant. Not disagreeing with you... just checking the numbers, as they were pounded into my brain by several demography professors.
I'm not even sure why skin color is considered relevant into this discussion, period. It might be interesting, though, to talk about how the news coverage would be different if the shooter had been black. Did anyone perceive a difference when the VA Tech guy was revealed to be Asian?
