They are taking advantage of a situation. You'd think a false flag would definitely have someone who could be construed to not be a white immigrant.

		I don't think it's a false flag but the online right has already decided the shooter isn't white. If anyone has ever been confused by the concept of race being a cultural construct, here is an object lesson.
