Yes.
Killing someone because of their religion, sexuality or skin colour is worse than killing someone due to a crime of passion or mutual dissagreement.
The former are random and otherwise motiveless, the latter are not.

Well, the person murdered because they're black, gay or jewish was murdered specifically because of a fluke of birth or part of their genetic make-up. There's not exactly much they could've done about it.

A person murdered in a botched robbery or carjacking was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The intention was robbery, not specifically murder.
