I listened to the voice mail and his 911 call, and I didn't detect any foreign accent. Certainly not a Spanish accent. He grew up in Virginia, so it's hardly surprising he doesn't have a foreign accent.
Hispanics will sympathize as will the Florida Jewish voters.
Zimmerman is Catholic. He used to be an altar boy back in Virginia.
The information I have read is that Zimmerman’s mother is from Peru, and Zimmerman speaks spanish. His father describes him as multi-racial, which cannot mean “white” in the politically correct atmosphere. Zimmerman can be correctly be described as “hispanic” or “latino.” His being Catholic would then be no surprise.
