It is not based on the class/race. That can easily be disproven by looking at virtually any of the races in the series. They all have good and bad characters in their respective races which is due to karma. While i do not believe it is due to the character/race it is however likely part of their creation, when it comes to Nazarick NPCs. Ainz does state that Sebas took after Touch Me in his views/karma and this is due to his creator making him that way. Now, whether or not this is part of the long scripting in the indevidual npc or due to something within the character creation screen/menu (like say gw2) is something i can't answer. For those outside of Nazarick it is due to how they are raised, similar to real humans, as various experiences can vastly change a person for better or worse when it comes to their affinity for positive or negative Karma.

As the original reply stated though it is because of his, Ainz, human mind that he isn't pure evil incarnate. Emotionally he is also still somewhat human but that only seems to apply in certain instances. We can easily see a lot of that when it comes to the NPCs of Nazarick. However, when it comes to humans outside of Nazarick he can be extremely callous/cold as we have seen with the massacre, capture and torture of humans. This could be due to his gamer mentallity not viewing them as humans but NPCs as he still calls them all NPCs, undead passive, karma or a mixture of the three.

Either way, Ainz is an overlord and the acts he has done are worthy of negative 500 karma. He understands that many of the people he has slaughtered or let die without reviving them were good people but because he finds no "use" in them to better Nazarick he doesn't care. Much like most of the NPCs of Nazarick he sees them as ants or lower life forms and finds that a swift death is a mercy when he is fine with torturing them which was shown with how he handled Foresight.
