Following the killing, some argued that had Hattori been white, Bonnie Peairs may have not reacted the way she did. The Haymakers stated in an interview following the trial that had Hattori been white, they believed he would have never been killed, noting that Bonnie Peairs said that she first noticed that Hattori was “darker colored” than her.

I’m inclined to agree. Although the wife/instigator denies it, deeply learned/inherited societal racism affects nearly every relevant choice.
