This is a very shitty thing to say. That's like saying the woman who was raped and kissed on the cheek was treated better than the woman who was raped and dumped in an alley. I don't think either would equate anything about the whole experience as being treated "better".

Ask any one of those slaves who were dumped in the Atlantic ocean if they thought they were getting a better shake. Ask the one who was hobbled to keep him from running away. Ask the one who was raped repeatedly by her master or ask the one who was lynched for some minor offense, either real or imaginary. No, the word "better" does not apply.
