(It's capitalism, baby!)

If a person killed 3 people who he was working with and they screwed him over in some way, that's tragic but not all that scary. The takeaway message would be "oh okay, well, if I don't screw someone over, then I won't be murdered. This story is not relevant to me."

If a man murders his wife for cheating on him and the person she was cheating on him with, the takeaway message would be "oh okay, well, I didn't cheat on my husband and I am not the lover of a cheater, so this story does not apply to me."

Racially/Religiously/Identity motivated murders like this one make the news because the violence is, essentially, senseless. A black person cannot stop being black. A Latino person cannot stop being Latino. A Jewish person cannot stop being Jewish. A Christian person cannot stop being Christian. At least not within reason (you can technically stop being Christian, but that is not a reasonable step to prevent being murdered by a stranger in a grocery store or school).

I'd like to agree with you, but history rather works against this.  Just look at the incidents Biden chooses to comment on, or better yet visit.  Hell, with the transgender shooter in Georgia the three clown state legislators got more media coverage and attention than the shooter or victims.  And this was yet another shooter motivated by hate.  How much hate we don't know, as their manifesto still hasn't been released, unlike this current shooter.

Biden's grimy ass even had the "Tennessee three"  idiots to the White House, but not a damn thing for the victims.  While your post does explain part of this, it doesn't explain all of it.  There is an agenda here, and it's not hard to see once you notice it.  Honestly, having those lawmakers to the White House while ignoring the victims and their families was nauseating.  If it can't be blamed on "white supremacy" the Dems don't give a shit about it.
