CNN Labels Zimmerman 'White Hispanic'

[Jeff]

Wow GZ is a white Hispanic does that make Obama a white black ? CNN show its intellegence once again :laugh:

On Wednesday, CNN once again referred (http://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/10/justice/florida-zimmerman-backlash/index.html?hpt=hp_t2) to Hispanic defendant George Zimmerman as a “white Hispanic who is on trial for last year’s shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a black teen, in Sanford city.” The term “white Hispanic” was coined by the media after outlets wrongly labeled Zimmerman white; Zimmerman’s father is white, and his mother is Hispanic. On March 8, 2012, the Associated Press wrote, “The neighborhood watch leader is white.” When it came out that he was not, media outlets including CNN began labeling Zimmerman a “white Hispanic” in order to maintain the false narrative that the killing was race-based.

Hispanic is a description of ethnicity. Not race

Hispanic is a description of ethnicity. Not race So Obama should now be called white black Indonesian?

[aboutime]

So Obama should now be called white black Indonesian?


Tyr. Actually. I believe we should just refer to Obama as 'BUBBA NUMBER 2'. Since Obama hasn't got a sincere, honest bone in his body worth repeating...other than as Lies.

Clinton was more of a First, Black President than 100 Obama's ever could be. Pretenders rarely get the recognition they Lie about.

The majority of the country, if not all, goes similarly to what you would see on an employment application when they ask race, which DOES include hispanic, caucasion, black, native american, indian... A hispanic person is never referred to as caucasian.

Regardless what people may 'commonly think' or what forms may say, race and ethnicity are not the same thing and you can just google for lists of famous white hispanics and black hispanics.

A white person is defined as "caucasian". A hispanic person is NOT a caucasian, and not a white person. Unless one of their hispanic parents was married to a caucasian, they are NOT a "white hispanic".

The funny thing is on this subject, that if it would be some sort of accomplishment or award, the person would be listed as Hispanic, Latino, Spaniard and various other terms depending on their background. You'll rarely hear the white hispanic thing unless it's something like we had here, where some would like to make the case a racial agenda. Technically then, millions and millions of Mexicans are therefore just as "white" as a white person born in America.

[jimnyc]

Oh, and also, does this mean that Barack Obama is a "white black"?

[jimnyc]

Cesar Chavez? Remembered as famous Hispanic, or famous "white hispanic"? I don't think I've EVER heard of him, or other famous Latino's and Hispanic's referred to as such.

[Voted4Reagan]

Actually. We should call Obama. BUBBA TWO!

Dont insult Bubba...please... he wasnt close to this idiot.../

[jimnyc]

Sonia Sotomayor? Alex Rodriguez? Marco Rubio? Salvador Dali? Salma Hayek? Juan Manuel Marquez? Bruno Mars? Cheech Marin? Demi Lovato? Edward James Olmos? Mario Lopez? Interesting that these people are listed as famous latinos and famous hispanics, the word white nowhere to be found.

In the United States, a White Hispanic or White Latino[17] is a citizen or resident who is racially white and of Hispanic descent. White American, itself an official U.S. racial category, refers to people "having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa" who reside in the United States.[18]

Based on the definitions created by the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Census Bureau, the concepts of race and ethnicity are mutually independent, and respondents to the census and other Census Bureau surveys are asked to answer both questions. Hispanicity is independent of race, and constitutes an ethnicity category, as opposed to a racial category, the only one of which that is officially collated by the U.S. Census Bureau.

As of 2010, 50.5 million or 16.3% of Americans were ethnically Hispanic or Latino.[15] Of those, 26.7 million, or 53%, were White.

Zimmermans Mothers line is Peruvian, and both her and Zimmerman registered as a hispanic ethnicity on voter registration. His father, who has german heritage, is white.

Zimmerman is a white hispanic. Like millions of others.

Exactly, a white hispanic just like all the others I listed, and I can list hundreds more. But it's funny that they are all latino or hispanic, until the media wants to make things appear to have racial overtones.

Again, is Obama a white black? Are all of those people I listed wrong as being identified as Latino and Hispanic, instead of what should be white hispanic? I know what you're saying, I'm not ignorant of definitions, but you're purposely ignoring reality - that the actors, athletes, politicians, artists and others are identified specifically as Latino or Hispanic - but when a crime is committed, they then add the white in there. It's a term that is SO rarely used. If it was as rock solid as you say, there would clearly be a "white hispanic" on census forms and applications and other identifying paperwork - but there's not.

And if we go the route you say - then realistically he should have been a BLACK white hispanic, as the mother has black ancestry. Why not identify it properly?

The point of this whole thing is - RARELY, if ever, are latinos and hispanic in America, referred to as such. This is even why the media made hundreds and hundreds of stories on the title, because it's something simply not used by the American public.

Oh, and for the record, he is listed simply as "Hispanic" according to the government and voter files.

He isn't a white hispanic.

He is a mixed race Indian Peruvian and White.

There are millions of white hispanics in the US, central and south America. Zimmerman just doesn't happen to be one.

The media needed a white person to be the bad guy and hence the "white hispanic" label given to Zimmerman. If he had a hispanic last name the case never would have made it out of Florida and certainly wouldn't have garnered the attention that it did, because it wouldn't have "fit" the agenda of evil white guy.

LETS STOP FOR JUST A MOMENT.

Does anyone on this forum honestly believe...any of us would have known anything about Martin being killed if...the person who did the shooting was another Black teenager?

Or, would we have heard the outrage, had Martin survived, and Zimmerman had been killed?

We live in a Dumbed-Down World where everyone argues, screams, becomes upset, is offended, and insulted for, and by EVERYTHING.
