It really boils down to whether you value human life and the value the lived human experiences of all humans, or just a select subset that normally includes yourself. Some people's subsets are quite narrow and correspond quite closely with skin color, but the real difference isn't how exactly you choose who to value, it's that you choose to value some more than others at all.
Some people call this selfishness. Some people call it practicality. I have some pretty strong opinions about it myself, but I'll let you figure out for yourself. It shouldn't be difficult, and if you have some difficulty with it and feel like you need to debate this or argue your position to me, you're probably wasting your time.
