This is all political theater. Zimmerman is of mixed heritage and looks like Hugo Chavez’s kid brother. His German or Jewish ancestry is not clearly evident in his appearance, except perhaps in a lighter skin tone than the Hispanic average. But for the purpose of this farce, this mixed heritage man has become an evil redneck white cracker, as if he were some Scots-Irish hillbilly from an Appalachian holler.
Political theater is exactly what it is.
And as usual, entering stage left under a giant spotlight, is Obama.
