I'll repeat what Bernard Goldberg said:
"I guarantee you, if George Zimmerman were nominated for a Nobel Prize in science, the media would not describe him as "white hispanic".




Dave, you can just read this topic from the beginning. It has links and quotes articles and videos of this case from the beginning, giving both sides.

Zimmerman is dominantly hispanic and identifies himself as hispanic, but also part black, and he has some black relatives. Just yersterday I saw it reported that he even took a black girl to prom. The detectives saw this, and the fact that Zimmerman tutors black kids, and in one detective's own words, instantly dismissed racial motivation as a cause for the shooting.
This case has dominated U.S. news for the last year, and especially during the last three weeks during the trial, almost to the exclusion of any other news. I'd say I'm glad it's over, but... it still ain't over.
