I wonder if anyone has asked Mr. Zimmerman if he considers himself a "White Hispanic".

"Robert Zimmerman said his son is Hispanic and not racist."
Since Hispanic is not a race... and he apparently identities with his Hispanic ethnicity... the only correct term would be "white-Hispanic"
Unless his white dad self-identifies as being black or something...

Your post is just dumb.. are you trying to insinuate some inconsistency or injustice? Because there is none.
I don't understand conservatives' obsession with labeling Obama as "less of" an African-American. He is half-black, yes, and a person can be half-black and still be fully an African-American. Being African-American isn't just about being a "pure-blood black". Deal with it.
White-hispanic is the term that Zimmerman falls under. Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race. Afaik they agree with that self-identification.

It is a term that the press has almost never used before when describing the ethnicity of a person in a news story. THAT is what is odd, here.

Actually the problem repukes and the rest of the right wing nut jobs is primarily because Obama is anything except the chosen white color. Since he is half black they then go on to assault his religion as well, even tho a number of these short sighted morons belong to the same institution of religion.

Ah, so there's a concern that this is a liberal media assault on white people through Zimmerman. Seems a big stretch.
Race is pertinent to this story, as the debate is essentially about racism/stereotyping. For most stories with Hispanics the racial specifics aren't as important.
It's very likely the racial background of Hispanics are generalized too much. I don't know how they checked if Zimmerman considers himself white or mixed hispanic, even if he does appear more white.
I don't think conservatives would give an F unless they felt the white race was being attacked, though.

Does he appear "more white", to you?
 
There is absolutely no reason why the New York Times would choose to identify this guy as "White Hispanic" rather than just "Hispanic" unless it served to further their intended White-kills-Black narrative.
