A new study conducted by a team of psychologists and published last week by the American Psychological Association suggests that people are much more likely to blame videogames when school shootings are made by White perpetrators.
According to the researchers, this may be due to the stereotypes associated with non-White minorities, chiefly the perceived linkage with crimes. Interestingly, the research shows that this disparity apparently disappears when shootings do not happen in the school environment.
