Rare or simply not widely reported or not even treated as racist?

The high profile white on non-white murders have often been arguments that escalated.

There was a TV news report about the body of a non-white person being found and the report went on and on about there being a racist motive. It was then later declared that the motive probably wasn't racial and that the killer(s) probably came from his own racial group. So why the big emphasis at first on a racial motive?

Time and time again we hear/read reports of a 'racial' crime, which has been nothing more than an argument which involved some name calling. The argument normally has a valid basis which does not involve race, but because one of the participants is white and the other isn't, it gets treated as a racist offence.
