Historically if you look at America's history in the context of its people, justice has always been predominently for whites only. In Australia, native people were not considered human beings until 1968. If you murdered an aboriginal, well it was just bad luck. In colonial times where White man raped aboriginal women and she had a child because of it. Well guess what they had this law where anyone could go up to a half cast aboriginal child and kill it in a camp fire.
