Or it could just be that the Media is more interested in use of the SYG law in white-on-black crime. To be fair, it does betray an alarming tolerance for white people killing black people, but there do seem to be occasional instances of the defense being used for other, less racially charged cases. It's not terribly easy to find them in news stories, but given that it's past midnight where I am, I don't feel like it at the moment, and I suspect those cases might be a bit dog-bites-man for the news sites (especially when compared to more racially charged cases that take up a lot of Google search results), that might be the reason.
I think race may be less of an issue than concept.
