If Hispanic is categorized as being a specific ethnic group (according to the monumentally-long list of ethnic groups - beginning with Abazins and ending with Zuni - under the heading "List of Ethnic Groups" at Wikipedia), and black is categorized there as African American, ask yourself the following questions:
Would the MSM be treating the Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin story differently if Zimmerman were African-American Hispanic, and not White Hispanic, or if Trayvon Martin were also White Hispanic or Asian Hispanic?
I mean, if Black, White, Hispanic, Asian and Native American can be broken down further into White Hispanic (as the MSM has categorized Zimmerman), (for eaxample)can Asian Hispanics exist? How about Black Hispanics or African-Amrican Hispanics, etc? Can those groups exist?
What say you?
One question that seems to never get asked by the MSM...
How could either of the two individuals (Zimmerman or Martin) have known whether or not the other was carrying a gun?
No. They wouldn’t have covered it at all.
I wonder if Obama gets treated any different because he is white-black, as opposed to black-black
We never would have heard of this case unless we lived in Sanford.
Is Obama to be categorized as White African American, if Zimmerman is now categorized as White Hispanic?
Most Dominicans and a lot of Venezuelans and Cubans qualify.
Light reflectivity, like plumbing, is everything!
Zimmerman is one eighth black. The media attempt to hide that was so successful (despite his mom being darker than Obama) that you seem unaware of this.
Does that of itself give you an answer?
No one would even know the name George Zimmermann if he were any type of black man. The incident would just be another statisctic and would be ignored even by black folks. Word.
It would never have been a story.
It is like the hypocrisy over South Africa in the 80’s and 90’s. Most of Africa treats minority tribes horribly by enslaving, murder, etc., but because “Whites” had the leadership position in SA, that was the story.
Rhetorical question
And when will they start calling Obama
White/African American.....
The gov has been classifying hispanics as White when they commit a crime, and as non-White when they are victims of a crime by a White. A deliberate and intentional act designed to mess with the numbers so they can have a bigger victim group.
This is an extension of that. If Zim had dark skin the media would have had a heart attack, and probably just let the whole thing drop.
George who?
The DLEMM- Dominant Liberal Establishment Mass Media - isn’t mainstream. It’s foolish, at best, to refer to that cabal of leftists as if they are.
Hispanic isn’t a race, it’s a language group.
