Why does this always have to be about race?

To your point about GZ's right to defend himself, from my understanding (which is not exhaustive by any nature of the case) we only have Zimmerman's testimony that Trayvon started the physical contact. You know, because Trayvon is dead. From my understanding, there were witnesses once the fight was on, but not for who threw the first punch.
This is the point. There wasn't enough to convict, because the details aren't clear. Therefore, he was found not guilty.
