A very good point.

A person of Italian family born and raised in Germany is a "German"; especially if he does NOT even speak Italian.

Hell; the Vice chancellor of Germany; Philipp Roesler; I "see" him as a German by ethnicity tho his mom and dad were Vietnamese.

I bet there are a lot of Germans who don't...........

You're preaching to the choir. I've repeatedly said that you don't have to be Spanish or part Spanish to be Hispanic........

The left wing media used the term "white" Hispanic for the sole purpose of fanning racial tensions by manufacturing a racial motive in an incident where none existed.

Either that or no one can be mixed anymore - like George Zimmerman.

Call it the "Zimmerman rule".

Cal it the "Zimmerman rule".

That's a good one. In any similar incident, we'll just say that whichever one is lighter skinned, is the white guy. Zimmerman isn't close to what "white" used to mean.

Now we can have the reverse one-drop rule, anyone with a drop of white like Zimmerman might have is now to be considered white unless the other guy is whiter, then he can be the victim.

If Martin had been a blue eyed blond and he killed Zimmerman, Zimmerman would be the poor minority group victim.

Hispanic is a cultural designation.

But the race-baiters would have a fit if Mr. Zimmerman was described as a Mestizo............THAT RAYCISSS!!!!!!!!!!

What is he were black and from Cuba? Would he be a "African Cuban-American Hispanic"?

Does that mean Barack Obama is a 'white African American'?

Well, for example - there are Chinese Cubans, of Chinese parentage. There are also African Cubans. There are also Lebanese Cubans. There are white Cubans (usually European - Spanish, etc.) There are many types of Cubans.
