The Propaganda FilesSlate: don't blame Somali Americans, but blame all white Australians
After the 2016 Ohio State attack, Slate argued it was wrong to blame Somali Americans. After the 2019 Christchurch massacre, it ran 'The Christchurch Shootings Should Implicate All White Australians.'
Who it favored: Democrats
Collective blame only for white groups.
