We're not supposed to judge and stereotype people, but we do it all the time and it's pretty much our favorite hobby (to the point of obsession) and an important survival skill.

Much simpler explanation: her genetic programming failed because she lived in a society with a different species - one different than the one that provided the environment of her selective background. (her killer was black)

Whites, asians, and other races also produce criminal scum. And if you read about medieval Europe there are plenty of them, plus plenty in the classical era too. So despite this explanation being spicy, I don't think it's true.

Plus, the evidence of already having murdered someone is much stronger than race if you look at it purely though numbers/probabilities.

Finally I think it's time we think of race/species as a continuous manifold rather than a hard boundary. The truth is that people vary on a big multidimensional continuum.

It's a manifold though some parts are sparse or empty at the moment, and there's no hard species boundary, though the missing links are dead.

You can have a manifold or space where most of the stuff is concentrated into a few areas, but there are also some continuous areas. All people currently happen to be the same species, but that will change in the future as people modify themselves.

so overall I think it's better to avoid both sides of the species thing; it's really not relevant.

IOW, I would rather invite an elf into my house who's from a different species, than a criminal human who might murder me.

The problem is that your means of judging tells of a criminal elf are unconsciously based on tells of a criminal human and those tells go badly wrong when the two are radically different in behavior.

Maybe elves are a bit like east asians (Japanese, Koreans etc) (only moreso) and very rarely commit crime. My point is the species doesn't matter just for the sake of being a species, what matters are the properties we care about.

And it is true that those properties vary over the manifold of human biodiversity, often in ways that are considered infohazards (things you're not supposed to notice).
