It's very easy to say it's "low" when your side is getting to make up the numbers. Something very common in leftist ideology.
According to the FBI, “The FBI defines terrorism, domestic or international, as the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government or civilian population in furtherance of political or social objectives.” That might explain why such incidents aren’t countered. That and the invasion of Gaza happening after the chart was created.
The BLM and Rodney King race riots both revolved around the unlawful use of force and violence against persons and property to intimidate and coerce both the Government of the United States of America and it's civilian population into achieving their political and social objectives.
Assaulting Jews and destroying their property because you hate Israel - which happened long before Gaza - is done with the intention to terrorize Jews and to attempt to draw attention to the political and social cause of Islamic colonialism in Israel.
Both are terrorism by the definition you just provided.
