Maybe we should start calling him Jorge!
Hate crime legislation: Because some victims are more equal than others.
Amazing.
I saw one article that described him as a “white Hispanic”. Whatever that is.
The validity of your argument notwithstanding, “Hispanic/Latino” is an ETHNIC group; not a race. That ethnic group, like most others, contains individuals of different races.
Hispanic isn't really a race, but it is considered one because it serves liberal purposes of Balkanizing America. They would like to exclude people of Spanish descent because they are too light skinned and not good at staying on the plantation. But they can't because Spain is the origin of the fake race Hispanic.
So they set up hierarchies within the classification. Light skinned Hispanics from Spain are therefore a lower class of Hispanic. Zimmermann, obviously being a German name, indicates his blood is polluted by intermarriage with an inferior race. So that makes him even a lower grade Hispanic.
Surely new avenues have been opened up for "hate studies.". Perhaps committees will have to convened to look into whether or not Hispanic vs Negro hate is even possible.
My understanding, however, is that only whites are capable of the "crime" of "hate."
This one is about to blow up right in the Dems’ face I feel.
Pretty soon Hispanics are going to decide that this guy is being railroaded and they are gonna start pushing back.
Blacks vs. Hispanics is the epic “End of the Universe” battle that the Democrat Party has been dreading.
It will be interesting to see if a riot or two can be made out of this killing?
no hable espanol ~
Mannnnn! Thats Enrico’s cousin!
Call him white and you got a fight!
He ain’t no steekin englais!
The people need to stick to the fax!
The Federal government does not consider “Hispanic” a race. It is a demographic. “Hispanic” is more of an indicator of where a person is from, not what race they are. So, with the race choices being white, African-American, Asian, Pacific Islander or American Indian, I can see why Zimmerman is placed under “white”.
They’ve been doing this for some time. Somehow, Hispanic or Latino is a race when it comes to victims, but not for perps.
He is not white he is hispanic.It is the racists like Sharpton who is calling him white trying to start riots.
He’s white because he’s half white
The president is black because he’s half white
Got it?
Yep. The FBI considers Hispanics as White when reporting crime but Hispanics are counted as Hispanics when a victim of crime. Totally racist.
I have read on government forms that Hispanic means you have ancestry from Latin America, Spain, or Portugal regardless of your race. It does not matter what your last name or your skin color is. Sammy Sosa is Hispanic, not African American. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox has an Irish last name. I have met Mexican citizens who have Chinese and Japanese last names. My favorite Mexican, Salma Hayek has a Lebanese last name. You can have blond hair and blue eyes and be named Adolfo Eichman III and be Hispanic if you have ancestors born in Argentina. Mitt Romney can claim to be Hispanic because his father was born in Mexico.
I know this is a bunch of crap, but that is the way the stupid affirmative action laws are written.
“White if he were the offender but Hispanic if he were the victim”
Yep, that’s the game the FBI has been playing for years. Gotta keep those crime stats for Hispanics down.
Otherwise, the sheeple might demand something be done about immigration.
Most Federal crime statistics are not broken out by race or ETHNIC GROUP. Hence, for violent crimes Hispanic is rolled into the White classification.
I’m sure that crimes statistics are probably the only federal data collected that does not completely break down by ethnicity.
You tell me why.
