Yes. This is a racial crime.
But no, it is something bigger. A failure of culture.
This is the same sort of snowflake argument as one encounters almost everywhere.
We are all victims. No one wants to have a robust character any more. If you are a black man or a white man or a brown man or a blue man, you can find a reason to say "poor me."
So these moral weaklings think the law will protect them, because they have an excuse. They are pathetic, they argue, and so should be treated leniently.
Ugh.
The law isn't there to remedy a person's eggshell personality if the eggshell personality means you act in this way. The law is there to put any person in jail if they have done something criminal and there's no substantial reason for sympathy. If they are pathetic, so be it. That isn't a substantial reason.
