Do you think the media, and the White House, are wrong to use the word "terrorism" so casually?

It bothers me that, right off the bat, they’re calling the terrible events in Boston an act of “terrorism.” We know that acts of terrorism can be perpetrated by anyone of any ethnicity, by any nation, and can take many forms. However, when you hear “terrorism” your first reaction is to think of 9/11 / Al-Qaeda / the Middle east (and for some, all Muslims in general.) For less thoughtful people it can fire up the racist skanks, and innocent Middle Eastern American citizens, Muslim or not, can become targets again, even if it turns out to be some White Aryan Asshole from El Paso who did it.

So should they ease up on throwing the word “terrorism” around so quickly and casually?
