Hispanic.

“Hispanic.

Does it matter?

---

Since it said ‘racial tensions’ I assumed that the races of victim and attacker were different.

To the Hispanic community it does especially if she is from a devout Catholic family.

[xzins]

Yes, but only because the article says it has “stirred racial tensions.”

One wonders where the racial tension is and why it is there. Normally, racial tensions are stirred by mixed race incidents.

It matters only because the defense has already made it an issue. (All of the accused are black, therefore the charges must be racist)

It shouldn’t but it does; there is no love lost between these 2 groups, as the Bronze Horde displaces the American blacks in just about every facet of life.

That certainly has no bearing on this disgusting case; it will be used by people on all sides to advance an agenda, you can be sure.

It will matter to these thugs when the Hispanic inmates get hold of them in prison.

[madison10]

It only matters in that the article mentioned “racial tensions.” The poster was just guessing that the race was NOT black.

Does it matter?

Not in terms of the crime, but possibly with respect to the racial polarization of the town.
