Shouldn't that read teaching 'white' kids?

The "what's the deadliest shooting" question is really a matter of classification. I think that when citing deadly shootings, people mean ones carried out by one guy. The other cases here are massacres carried out by mobs or organized groups. A somewhat different thing.

Now, you could ask why is that classification distinction made? But there really is a distinction between these kinds of things. Nor is it made just to erase blacks. There have been much larger white-on-white massacres too, the Mountain Meadows massacre being one that comes to mind. And, by that standard, the biggest single massacre in American history was a little number called the US Civil War.
