I was thinking about how the reason it's not custom to shoot robbers is that they would kill you.
Race
Regarding racism, people should have defined which countries are different races between the black/brown and white persons..
Europe
Asia
Oceana (Wiki)
Middle East (Wiki)
Everyone could care less that some countries are both Asia and Middle East or that Turkey is also Asia. I heard China is 92% out of Africa and Japan is Russian. I run across lots of people from odd countries who try to tell me my mixture makes me less white.
I do feel like the guys who were shot when you say they are illegal Latino immigrants. I meet a lot of people who are 1/2 South American or Spanish with light blond reddish brown or white blond streaked hair and slightly tanned to deep brown tanned skin. They aren't scrawny, either. The ones I see are all way chubby at some point. They did have medium more orange/red solid brown eyes, though. They're really popular and not really treated like a minority unless with someone who would be just English, German, French, etc.
There's a difference between being a home-cooked Amish and an ethnic aborigine Eurasian. There's a difference in being elite and "humble." There's a difference between all your choices and all the choices that were made for you.
This is always an issue, it seems. Sometimes, I see pictures maybe of a Filipino with white skin. (Filipina is the Philippines, which is Spanish, but with a lot of mixed people, supposedly.) Sometimes, I see a Filipina who looks Chinese or like an Islander. That special person usually fades back into the crowd, though.
I've been looking into these kinds of issues a lot.
