Only because you're an idiot and don't understand how basic statistics work or how to interpret them. And no, it's not 5X. You fucked that up too. lol
Had you read the article posted then you'd see that CNN notes the same "dumb" thing.

"If you look at the whole list, it turns out that whites and blacks are pretty proportionate to their population, very close," said Dave Cullen, author of the book "Columbine," which tells the story of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Harris and Klebold, the shooters there, were white.
Historically, Latinos and Asians have been the exception.
The Virginia Tech massacre was carried out by Seung-Hui Cho, who was born in South Korea.
"Latinos are almost nowhere to be seen," Cullen told CNN's "New Day." "Asians continue to be heavily overrepresented -- more than 2½ times their size in the population."
Whites make up about 63% of the U.S. population, blacks 13%, and Asians 5%, according to the latest census numbers. Latinos account for some 17% of the total population.
Given that much of the date range is prior to more recent large increases in minority population and more recent events involve more minorities, it's even more heavily skewed.
In fact, looking at the list quickly I expect that if I really wanted to I very likely could show a correlation between an increase in the minority population and "mass shootings."
