Believe whatever you want, PC correctness or whatever, but the next terror attack will not be Mr. or Mrs. Smith nor Mr. or Mrs. Wong.
Go ahead and keep on talking PC, but odds are that the next terrorist act committed will not be from someone with a last name Smith, Jones or Lee. ..Just keep your head in the sands.I guess mass murders don't count as terror attacks when they're done by white people, right?

No, their last names are Christian, Neumann, and Purinton. Not to mention Hartless, Santiago, Cetin, Long, Johnson, Ford, Dalton, Deer, Harpham, Mercer, Roof, Del Toro, Frieberg, Roger, Lopez, Rhoads, Alexix, Vargas....shall I go on? These are just the ones from 2013 - 2017. And lets not forget Virginia Tech's Seung-Hui Cho and Binghampton's Jiverly Wong just in case we're going to suggest that people from certain parts of the world are immune.

I think you're the one with your head in the sand. There are terrorist attacks occurring EVERY SINGLE DAY in the US, only they're not labeled that way because they're either not politically or racially motivated, or they're politically and racially motivated, but just not by the people that you're comfortable pointing to as the enemy.
I actually think you're the one spouting what I'm going to call "conservative PC" because you can't even recognize that you have a serious social problem on your hands and the vast majority of incidents are not being caused by foreigners.
How many from your list was labeled as a terrorist attack?I actually think you're the one spouting what I'm going to call "conservative PC" because you can't even recognize that you have a serious social problem on your hands and the vast majority of incidents are not being caused by foreigners.

How many of them was connected to ISIS?

Any mass killing of people is terrible and it should not be a source of argument on which is worse. The government response is different based on the motivation of the killings. Terror that originates or is inspired by those outside the US is handled differently than homegrown crazies. To call Ft. Hood a workplace violence incident is a terrible mistake though, which took 6 years for victims to receive their due benefits.

No mass killings should be downplayed or ignored nor should the motivation for them. It is not a scoreboard to be kept for partisan purposes. That said, terrorism should not be downplayed or reduced to shouts of Islamaphobia. Are we so far removed from 9/11 and many US and global incidents since then that we feel comfortable doing that?
Edit - cmd I am not saying you are doing that.
