Why don't you ask an African kidnapped from his home, sailed across the ocean and forced into slavery? Or maybe you can tell that to a 12 year old girl in Thailand who's been forced into prostitution. One of the many roads to tyranny is the mistreatment or demonization of a group of people. A great example would be how Hitler used hatred of the Jews or Stalin and the Ukranians (if I remember my history, I'm a bit rusty on Stalin).

Had Hitler slaughtered 6 million Asians, or Americans, or Africans, or South Americans, or Australians made any difference? Should his sentence of made him anymore hanged or shot to death? It is GENOCIDE. Just like murder is murder. Black or white, what's the difference we are all people right?
What if the slave was from Asia, or the girl forced into prostitution was from Mexico? Do they deserve less justice?
Why should a class get a preferential victim status? You still haven't really explained that.
And why shouldn't individuals be equal under the law?
