My god Simplefreak, when I saw the same thought train from Granoob I didn't bother trying to correct it. In your case, it can't be let go.
DID YOU READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE?
It isn't about Zimmerman (who is white by the way, as are all hispanics (regardless of what some unelected government flacky wrote on a form one day)
It is about the white cops, the black body, the white town (Sanford) the white jurors, and the wholesale disgusting racism displayed by whites toward blacks nationwide.
I shouldn't have to explain this to you.
You took a cheap shot, too cheap for who you are.
Explanation of Race and Hispanic Origin Categories
Source: U.S. Census Bureau
Internet Release date: September 15, 1999
The race and Hispanic origin categories used by the Census Bureau are mandated
by Office of Management and Budget Directive No. 15, which requires all
federal record keeping and data presentation to use four race categories
(White, Black, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian and Pacific Islander)
and two ethnicity categories (Hispanic, non-Hispanic). These classifications
are not intended to be scientific in nature, but are designed to promote
consistency in federal record keeping and data presentation.
It is important to recognize that this system treats race and ethnicity as
separate and independent categories. This means that within the federal system
everyone is classified as both a member of one of the four race groups and also
as either Hispanic or non-Hispanic. Consequently, there are a total of 8
race-ethnicity categories, as illustrated by the table below:
…………U.S. Population by Race and Hispanic Origin, July 1, 1997..(in thousands)
………………….White……Black….American Indian……Asian & Pacific
………………...……………………....& Alaska Native……….Islander
non-Hispanic 194,571 …32,324……1,977 ………………9,532
Hispanic………. 26,746….1,649………347………………… 598
As the above table illustrates, the Hispanic population is predominately White.
Because the number of Hispanics in the Black, American Indian & Alaska Native,
and Asian & Pacific Islander categories is relatively small and thus difficult
to estimate accurately at smaller levels of geography, our tables which display
race and Hispanic origin information divide only the White category by
ethnicity. The complete race by Hispanic origin breakdown is available in our
data sets.
