This is probably where the report of "mixed race" comes from, however the captures at archive.com shows that the dating profile was changed several times - after he was dead. Allegedly the ethnicity and the political views, among other items, were changed.
BREAKING: Internet Trolls Altered Chris Harper Mercer's Online Profile Today - Now Says He's "Conservative"


From the NYT:
Mercer was a withdrawn young man who neighbors said wore the same outfit every day — combat boots, green Army pants and a white T-shirt — and was close to his mother, who fiercely protected him.

I will speculate that he was a 'mommas boy' who was always sheltered from every aspect of life, a social cripple who was isolated from friendships and normal human interaction, and who lashed out to get the attention that he had been deprived of by being raised as a recluse. That, or he's just batschit crazy.

Not sure how that archive site works, and I can't seem to get it to work for me, but it may reflect how many times the site was archived, not how many times it was modified.

"This calendar view maps the number of times Spiritual Passions: ironcross45 - Doesn't Like Organized Religion, Left-hand Path, Magick and Occult, Meditation, Not Religious, But Spiritual was crawled by the Wayback Machine, not how many times the site was actually updated."
