I have a question. If George Zimmerman is now a “White Hispanic”, does that make Obozo a “White Negro”?
I asked this exact same question on another thread today. I’ll say one thing for black people, they stick together when the chips are down.
It does not exist.
Please do not insult most of those of Hispanic ancestry-that is just what the real racists like our current department of INjustice would just love, and nothing good can come from playing into that.
I’m “white” and of Hispanic ancestry-my family became “native Texans” over 200 years ago. I was brought up conservative and color blind, in a hard-working ranch family.
Like the other Native born Hispanics of my acquaintance, I want illegals sent home, period-we do not-repeat-DO NOT support amnesty of any sort, we work and own businesses, and we are not for sale to anyone any more than you are-so please don’t buy into that media nonsense-we are Americans first and foremost.
I’m convinced that MLK is rolling in his grave over how his message of equality being color blind is used-it is nothing like what I was taught, or what I read as a kid-and to have Hispanics running around with hate signs, threatening violence would only put us in the same racist category as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson...
Thanks for listening to my rant-I’ll get off the soapbox now...
Zimmerman is a “white” hispanic...
They're racists - they don't like his pedigree of being 1/4 gringo and 1/4 black. What else explains it?
There is no such thing as a Hispanic, ergo there is no “Hispanic community”. What is taken for a “Hispanic community” can be clusters of people of Mexican descent in the Southwest and Chicago, a large cluster of Afro-Caribbeans in the greater NYC area, Cubans of all races in Florida. Zimmerman has a Peruvian mother, so he doesn’t fit into any of those groups. There is a sizeable Peruvian population in Los Angeles, but I doubt that they were even aware of this trial.
These different clusters of Spanish speakers don’t eat the same food, listen to the same music, or, in the case of many of the Cubans, vote the same way. Hence the “silence” from the “Hispanic community”.
This is like asking where the Scottish community is, especially when you’re mentioning South American Hispanics. They’re like 19th Century emigrants to the US. They believe in individualism and not tribalism and even less collectivism.
There is no “hispanic” community just as there is no “hispanic” race, just a collection of various races and ethnic groups that happen to come from Latin American. Of course, our own country is the only one mentally challenged enough to classify a European-descended Latin American as “nonwhite” but an Arab or Armenian as “white.”
well at least the left has finally admitted... Hispanic is not a race.
Which is why they have hyphenated the culutural moniker with “white.” Does that mean there are now Indigenous Indian Hispanics, and Afro- hispanics?
In Brazil they test for blackness... which is why a recent case of twins applying to the public university only had one successfully gaining entrance as black as the other twin was designated as white.
