Is "Warrior" a term that pertains to a particular race? Unlike
"Crusader" which pertains more to a particular religion and specifically to those on one side of a religious war.

Yes, they could. But not as common by any means.
Have you seen Alan Duff's movie 'Once were warriors'?
Was there any truth in the depiction of Duff's characters?
Do some research on prison/court stats. and ask a few criminal psychologists or police.
Here is Duffs own experience which could make a starting point for you, although I suspect your mind is not open to this information if you don't already realise the problems in NZ society. "Once Were Warriors, and Duff's fiction in general is strongly influenced by his childhood experiences. In his 1999 autobiography, Out of the Mist and Steam, he describes his Māori mother (and most of her relatives) as alcoholic, irresponsible and physically and emotionally abusive. His Pākehā father and his relatives, by contrast, were highly educated and sophisticated—one uncle, Roger Duff, was a well-known anthropologist; his paternal grandfather was liberal magazine editor and literary patron Oliver Duff."
Yep, pretty disgusting if its true, however well topped by plenty of genocides across the globe, many of them executed as well by Europeans.
The native American genocide (some 50 to 100 million innocent natives killed over roughly 500 years) was executed mainly by people with European roots mainly coming from Britain and Spain). Disgusting lot.
The famous holocaust (5 ... 6 million innocent Jews killed in German occupied areas of Europe) was executed by European people (Germans and support staff from most East European countries). Disgusting lot.
Holodomor - Stalins equivalent of the holocaust killed between 2.5 and 7.5 million innocent people (the big span is because many have been killed by famine, death not so easily attributable ...) was executed by Russians. Disgusting lot.
I could go on like that for hours ... here is a link for anybody interested to get a fuller picture, including even the Queensland Aboriginal genocide committed by our Australian brothers:

... and I don't remember any race or people which didn't commit at some stage crimes against humanity, if they had the opportunity to do so. Same with all major religions. Disgusting people the humans. No point to point fingers to one specific group of people or race.
But know what makes humans really disgusting? Some of them, and it is often the worst of them, see only the flaws of the others and think that they / their race, nation or religion is superior. These people really are a disgusting lot.
There was the US civil war -- to free the enslaved black populations and defeat the rebels.
Also some british interventions to end slavery on principle.
I do think the statues for these losers should be taken down in the southern states.
