Another hypothetical: Billy Bob is very jealous and posessive of his wife. He sees another man, of his same racial identity, talking to her outside the grocery store, and becomes enraged! He beats the dude to death. Is that "better" or "worse" than your example? What if Billy Bob shoots somebody for looking at him wrong? Is it a more acceptable murder if he shoots another white guy for no reason?
