Only on the US Census and cases of a black person being killed in modern day, hyperly overly sensitive, PC America is a hispanic person considered any form of "white".
"This was a wetback killing a colored kid." -I say this to draw attention to what kind of ethnic groups the average "white" Americans normally call these ethnic groups.
What is widely considered to be white Americans by Americans had nothing to do with this. Including "white hispanics". Hispanics don't consider themselves to be anything near like non-hispanic white Americans. They would probably be insulted by you telling them that.
If a non-hispanic white had killed a hispanic white, NO ONE would refer to the hispanic white as "white". It would read, "White person killed a hispanic or latino!" It would never say, "A white non-hispanic killed a white hispanic!"
That's not a story. That doesn't grab people's attention. That's not going to sell papers and ad space. The word is "sensationalize"! The motto is, "If it bleeds, it leads."
You would barely even realize Zimmerman was a hispanic at all. All the headlines scream, "White! Kills Black! Racism! Profiling! Skittles!"
Go check the news media about the state of Arizona and it's immigration law and racial profiling. See if a single one of them refers to any hispanic people as white.
"White" people are traditionally and currently still the majority of people in the US. For another decade or two. Hispanics and African Americans are not considered white in America. Hispanics are not considered white at all except for the news media to sensationalize shit.
