So do Minorites Write when there a crime....
"I bet he's white"
"Send him back to Europe"
"Typical white people"
"If the white person didnt want to get shot, he shouldnt have been there"
I dont think I have ever seen tweets like that.
But today with the massacre in Burlington, if you want to know the hate on a percentage hatred scale
60 percent of people hate Middle eastern people.
40 Percent of people hate Hispanics.
Oh the Tennessean GOP apparently has tweeted out "Obama said no one will
get hurt with safe zones" with a pic of smiley face rubbing its chin.

We just redefine "white" to make it true. The Chechen bomber in Boston, lots of people said to send him and his back. Chechens are the prototypical Caucasians, mind you. True, some want to have a monolithic duo-tone racial categorization system, all people of color are the same in opposition to the dreaded white foe, but that's not how American society works today (or how most of American society worked in the 1800s). Things have always been nuanced, and you'd expect those who pride themselves on nuance (unlike the non-nuanced RWers) to notice this.
Often most of the "send them back" remarks refers to immigrants, often illegal but sometimes legal (there's a difference there in frequency). For example, the Chechen. Or it refers to people who have a lot of loud people saying, "We aren't Americans, but X" (or perhaps "X-Americans"
coming to the perp's defense. Now, you identify yourself as marginal or have as your chief defenders those who do so, you get treated as marginal; you say you're not part of the group, don't expect to be treated as part of the group. "I don't want to be one of you, I don't like you, but hey--I really am one of you, so treat me like you and share" is viewed as hypocritical except to those being hypocritical. Patience used to be an American virtue; these days, hypocrisy has taken over that role.
One other bit of redefinition is switching group size. When an immigrant kills somebody--illegal immigrant or legal immigrant--some call for deportation. Hardly all,--we just assume that our enemies are more numerous than they are because, well, that means we in-group folk really, really have to all stick together in opposition. Just as for some ethnic groups the voices of division don't represent most of their members, so too for those calling for deportation of legal immigrants or ethnic-identified non-immigrants.
