Zimmerman, 28, a white Hispanic, shot Trayvon Martin, 17,

WHITE hispanic = "perp" vs black "kid"

Hispanic, or person of color = victim of "White" crime.

The DOJ/FBI count all hispanics as WHITE so as to up the white on color crime stats or at least that seems to be the reason for not differentiating between latinos and europeans. they may have some other even more outrageous reason.

I understand Mr. Zimmerman’s mother is from Peru.

My nephew married a girl from Peru. She refers to herself as a Latina,and never uses the word Hispanic to describer herself.

That being the case, why are not the Hispanic/Latino folks speaking up about the lynch mob mentality that is going on in our country? I really do have concerns about the safety of Mr Zimmerman, as all sense of fairness has gone from the discussion (if you can call it that) of the case.

One more thing - George Zimmerman’s family name sounds either German or Jewish (or both?), and neither groups emjoy any sympathy from liberals now. He would be a lot better off with an Irish surname, IMHO. (this is just my opinion and a bit of sarcasm).

So now Hispanics are to be labeled White Hispanic and Black Hispanic. Thinking like that makes me wonder if we what Obama would be. Is he a white-black man or a black-white man?
Or is color only skin deep and the worst way to judge a person?

Dennis Prager did a search going back to the mid-1800’s and not once has the New York Times used the term White Hispanic until now.
