Judge Curiel, based on his appearance, has a predominance of European ancestry, not unlike many Hispanics of the upper classes and in entertainment. He is far more a "white Hispanic" than George Zimmerman, the center of a major controversy after he killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense. No doubt even Cameron Diaz would be accepted by La Raza if she spouted the right clichés.
Race hustling, whether by blacks, Hispanics, or American Indians, is despicable.
