That Would Be Wrong, I realize. No, I really truly do. Still, it is a pleasant fantasy at times, I admit (paging Hothead Paisan...)

In this case, the intent was clear, and it got him killed.

That argument is used in the case of sexual assault victims, too - it's their fault that they were attacked because they were wearing a short skirt. I'm certainly not defending a person who uses racial epithets; just saying that the reasoning behind the ruling has been used to further oppress already-marginalised people.
