The media is going to have a hard time with this one. For one thing, he is a hispanic man killing a black man, therefore he should be labeled “white”. On the other hand, he is being jailed for life, therefore he cannot be considered white (since whites are rarely prosecuted for any crime, and certainly not for crimes against blacks), and must count towards tally of minorities held in prison by the evil white man. This makes him “hispanic”.
It should be interesting to see this play out, but I think they will punt, and simply label him a former football player.
Spot on. My guess is the media will deal with it by avoiding the mention of race.
