White person: Kills an unarmed black kid and he's not guilty
Black person: Fires a warning shot to defend herself against a threatening partner and gets 20 years
Same state, too.Quote:White person: Kills an unarmed black kid and he's not guilty...George Zimmerman is also half Hispanic....but you guys on the left want so much to lynch just the white half as echoed by the New York Times last year...is that it?
Are you sure you want to compare the number of lynchings of white people to the number of lynchings of black people? Oh my. Perhaps you should rephrase that statement. I'm also at a loss as to how this is a right versus left issue. I would hope that ANY thinking person would be opposed to injustice, regardless of political persuasion.

He's a white Hispanic, so it's accurate to say that he's white.hmmmm...Barack Obama is also half white...By your reasoning then, the way racial categories work as you say, Barack Obama is a white Negro. So I guess it would also be accurate to say that Obama is white....is that how it works?
Hispanic is an ethnic category, not a racial category.

As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
