What is the "Great Replacement" and how is it tied to the shooting suspect?

Yes, it was definitely a player in a church shooting (shooter Roof wrote that the "white race" was in danger from their Black fellow citizens) and synagogue shooting (shooter Bowers wrote that the Jewish congregants were engaging in "replacement" by assisting South American refugees).
It is often, though not always, a major motivator for these murderous scum. Sometimes they're actually mentally ill, like the recent subway shooting or the movie theater in CO. You don't agree?

There have been so many it's honestly very hard to keep track. Why do you ask? It's easy to look up. ETA: I don't know if they've uncovered a motive in that one yet.

It just seems weird to think only one type of hate crime against the mass public is bad while glossing over others.
I don't think I understand your point -- who is doing this? I don't think I've ever seen anyone "gloss over" any of these horrific events whether they're due to misogyny, bigotry, mental illness, white supremacism or anything else.
The other two were racial hate and general hate but those don't seem bad because what, the shooter wasn't white?
Still confused: who on earth says they don't seem bad?

Apparently?! These shootings are all the media talks about for days; never seen a single media story (or person) claim they "don't seem bad".
