Thread: What is a "white Hispanic" that killed the black boy?

I want to know why they are trying to make the shooter out to be white when he is not. This was a Hispanic and black encounter, not a white and black encounter.

Uhh... Hispanic is an ethnicity right? I believe we had an interesting discussion on this matter here before on the racial diversity of Hispanics. Some people here are Hispanics and shared their insight in this thread:

George's father is White and possibly his mother Hispanic, but her race is something else entirely. She could very well be "Mestizo" or "White" or even "Black". So technically he is a White Hispanic.

Whatever. All you have to do is look at the guys picture. He is latino, hispanic, or metizo (whatever the hell that is). All I know is that as a white person I am sick of taking the heat on this one. The hispanics own this mess.

In the thread I linked too, Hispanics on this board discussed the various differences and races within the Hispanic community. So if you don't know what Mestizo is, you are free to read up. I agree though, this guy looks like a Mestizo to me though. Apart from having a White father and White name, I'm assuming the media is going with "White" because he indicated to the police as so.

I've yet to see this made into a "blame" the Whites issue though. From what I've seen and read, everyone is pretty upset with the police department and George. The police department for its ineptitude and George for being suspicious of the innocent teenager.

Well I obviously dont care what mestizo means or I would have looked it up. Really dont care. The media is going with white hispanic because they want to make a racial bias hate crime out of this. I cant remember the last time I saw a hispanic being refered to as a white hispanic in the news. If ever. As far as this kid being an innocent teenager, I dont know all the facts in this case. I heard on the news that thois George guy had a bloody nose. Is it true? I dont know. I am not judgoing anybody till all the facts come out.
