I’d like to hear from some representatives of the Hispanic community. How do they feel about President Obama driving a wedge deeper and deeper between blacks and Hispanics? Is he just arrogant enough to think that the Democrats can count on their votes in 2016, no matter what?

That's why the media have gone out of their way to label Zimmerman a "White Hispanic".

Sort of. I think what really happened was that when the story first came out, enough key members of the media assumed Zimmerman was white (and likely Jewish) and spun a "white on black hate crime" story.

THEN they found out that Zimmerman is Hispanic (more Hispanic, at least, than Obama is black, if you believe his birth story) but were already invested in the whole racial angle, so to save some kind of face and narrative, they invented the term "white Hispanic" as if that's what they meant all along.
