“This is not about a black and white thing; this is about a right and wrong thing.”

Better tell that to CNN. Even up until yesterday they were still officially describing Zimmerman as a “White Hispanic”. I have never heard a description like that before in my life. So, since CNN is ‘obsessed’ with breaking everything down to the color of a person's skin, who else are White Hispanics? Is Soledad Obrian a White, is Geraldo a White.

Tell us CNN. Who is a “White Hispanic” in your eyes you racist bastards. I mean since you have put yourself in the position of ‘defining’ who is what race, tell me what race I am CNN. Come on. I'm waiting.

Racist pigs!

Geraldo is a puke

I maintain that if the half Hispanic Zimmerman is white, what color is our half white president?

Terezzza Kerry, wife of John I was in Viet Nam Kerry, white as snow, was an African American.

I’m not CNN, but I’m going to play as though I were.

You must be lily-white, regardless of your skin color, or you would not be posting in here, except as a troll, which, evidently, you are not.

White hispanic usually refers to people with a hispanic background who are obviously white. It includes people of European heritage who are descended by a a Spanish-speaking culture. My very white wife, who is descended from Spanish Minorcans, is technically hispanic now. Since “Hispanic” refers to neither race nor nationality and now doesn’t even require you to speak spanish, I think the government did this to create a sub-category to exclude white people who are technically Hispanic from cashing in on the Hispanic giveaways and setasides.

To me, Zimmerman does not appear to be a “white hispanic”. But, in the Leftist Heirarchy of Victimhood, Hispanic on Black crime does not create the “right dialogue”, so the lighter-skinned of the two needs to be portrayed as white to set the narrative.

Then shouldn’t they always refer to Obama as a White Black?

Since you brought it up I have seen various government forms that break down the hispanic ethnic group into white and black. I think the US census does it... And most college admission forms, too. A side point is that many of these forms also state "check all that apply" when identifying your race. That can go way past the point of "usefulness" except maybe double-triple-or quadruple minorities can make the quota targets easier to hit.

“White Hispanic”

Race = White
Ethnicity = Hispanic (spanish speaking)

Not telling any Freeper anything we don't already know:
the three races are Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongoloid.

IMHO, this is not an untrue comment by CNN or others.
Too much emphasis (PC) on these issues in the world today.
I prefer to look at the character of a person rather than race or ethnicity, or their actions versus their words.

As a “White Hispanic” is an Hispanic with a White parent, that would make Obama a “White Black,” wouldn't it?
