Trump condemned attacks by non-whites quickly but slow to criticize white supremacists.
Evidence
Unlike his unwillingness to condemn white supremacists, Trump has not found it so difficult to condemn acts of murderousness when committed by non-whites in the past. The Washington Post reported that Donald Trump tweeted about the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015 only three hours after they occurred. The following month, he tweeted about the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California only ninety minutes after the violence began. And when terrorists drove a van into a crowd on London Bridge in August 2017, Trump wasted no time in tweeting about the need to be “smart, vigilant and tough” even before authorities had identified terrorism as the motive behind the attack. — Arsalan Iftikhar, Fear of a Muslim Planet_ Global…, 788
