See, when you're a minority, you think about these things. When you're not, you usually don't have to, so you don't.

I care about this topic for a number of reasons so I did some low level Internet research.
As with most academic departments, the biological science department is predominently white:

So, it doesn't take mensa to beg the question of whether it is a coincidence that someone who opens fire at a faculty/departmental meeting shoots 6 faculty and ends up killing 3 racial and ethnic minorities on the department's faculty. We (other than PiKA2001) aren't going so far as to draw conclusions because that's what investigations are for.
