'Imagine if the Austin bomber was a Mexican or Muslim' Twitter users point out double standards after terror attacks

Police said today that the suspect linked with a series of deadly parcel bombs targeting Austin, Texas, is dead.

The suspect was killed after detonating a device when officers approached his car.

Four bomb attacks took place in Austin, the state capital, and one in Schertz.

The blasts that began in Austin earlier this - involved package bombs and a tripwire and all said to be related.

The bombings killed two people and left the Texas capital terrorised with fear for 19 days.

Thank you FBI. The Austin bomber, a 24 year old white male (therefore not classified as a terrorist ) will no longer TERRORIZE Austin residents. #AustinBombing

Imagine if the Austin bomber was a Mexican or Muslim. When the Austin Police chief announce that the bombing suspect was found, Trump would had been calling for a ban of immigrants or the immediate building of his stupid wall.

FACT: This is a white terrorist! #AustinBombing

Bombings have barely made the news. Black people murdered by a white male, no surprise that the media isn’t interested. #AustinBombing

Could you imagine what Donald Trump, Republicans and Fox News would have been saying if the #AustinBombing terrorist was Muslim, Black or Latino? But no, he was a 24 year old white male so it’s just another passing news story not a 24/7 tool to fear-monger against minorities

Austin bomber was a 24 year old white male. I am sure he will be described as a sick individual instead of terrorist. #AustinBombing #DomesticTerrorism

#AustinBombing.....24 year old white male suspect killed after detonating last bomb as police closed in.

Or, as the rest of the world sees it, American Terrorist kills himself with own device.

If you still believe terrorists are only Muslims with a backpack, I truly pity you.
