"Many social scientists view terrorism as a tool used by groups to further their political goals. My findings suggest some forms of terrorism may simply be the product of cultural grievances on the part of people who have been radicalized politically, as in the Christchurch mosque terrorist attack, Quebec City mosque attack and the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting." -- Richard J. McAlexander, "Terrorism does increase with immigration - but only homegrown, right-wing terrorism", 2019-07-19

Earlier in the article: "Many people think that more immigration into Western countries leads to more terrorism, because immigrants from non-Western cultures are more likely to be terrorists. My research finds a very different kind of relationship. Immigrants aren't committing terrorism in Western Europe. Rather, native citizens appear to be committing terrorism because of their hostility to immigrants."

"Cultural grievance" is great code for bigotry, isn't it?
