Sharpton et al. seem to have fastened on the Trayvon Martin case in part because they mistakenly thought that Zimmerman was Jewish.

Wouldn't be surprised. But the black race hustlers may have been shocked themselves when it turned out that Zimmerman was of part Hispanic ancestry. That doesn't quite fit the template.

Of course the media has ignored the revelation that Zimmerman is at least one-eighth black in ancestry. The "one drop" rule doesn't apply if some of your ancestry is Hispanic. Sammy Sosa is Hispanic, not black.

If Zimmerman had been identified at the start as black, the media outside of the immediate area would have ignored the story entirely.
