Its a nice ideal to not want skin colour to matter, but in a practical situation, say when a paranoid guy with a gun sees a black kid wearing a hoodie, or when a business wants to hire someone to an important presentational position, suddenly all those ideals go out the window, people panic and resort to their most primitive responses.
We operate on very low levels a lot of the time, we're not all high-minded, we're still very unevolved. It takes recognition of our base nature to discover why we should always strive to be better than it.
"We bear the stamp of our lowly origins" as Darwin said. And the killer certainly displayed his.
