Precedent for the behavior.
Basically, they're upset that Obama has derailed their attack against the west in Orlando, and have now decided to focus on white people, aware the media and our government will not ever refer to that as a hate crime, and be left with no choice but to call it Islamic Terrorism.
Thanks Obama.
Al Qaeda is reportedly advising potential lone wolf terrorists to avoid attacking U.S. targets “where minorities are generally found” because the federal government will attempt to deflect responsibility away from the terror group and label attacks “hate crimes.” In the latest edition of its online magazine, Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula instead advises terrorists to target white Americans.
Lone wolf jihadists should target white Americans so no one mistakes their terror attacks for hate crimes unrelated to the cause of radical Islam, Al Qaeda writes in the latest edition of its online magazine.

Although Al Qaeda does not take credit for Mateen’s attack in the online article, it urges more “lone wolves” to take up arms. Jihadists should target “areas where the Anglo-Saxon community is generally concentrated,” it states. “This class of the American community is the majority and it is the one that is in the American leadership.”
Al Qaeda is "very carefully threading a needle" by endorsing the attack while criticizing Mateen's target selection, said Ryan Mauro, national security analyst for Clarion Project, a Washington-based nonprofit that tracks the international terror threat.
"This is Al Qaeda's way of asserting itself above ISIS in the wake of its competitor's success," Mauro said.
I mean, if this starts getting run on the media, it's not going to look good for Obama or the democrats, I don't think. It also ratchets up the ethnic tension involved in the conflict.
It also plays into ethnonationalist hands by giving ethnonationalists means by which to immediately dismiss the opinion of ethnic minorities and LGBTQ's on islamic terrorism, citing their "privilege" and such, though perhaps not in those words.
This will shift the discussion radically to the right on this issue if this play is allowed to succeed, but also undermines the authority of the progressive movement to ignore.
All around, it's a good strategic play from Al-Qaeda, It forces the government to begin framing the issue in terms of Islam again, explicitly acts as a rejection of the progressive narrative about what happened at Orlando, and empowers the faction in the west that will give them what they want, an all out conflict with western civilization.
Which, ofcourse, they will lose, but they don't realize that.
