It would be nice to see him lose the White Hispanic vote and the election.

Hmmm, do the libs have a box with that label on it? If so, Zimmerman better make sure it gets in it and starts reading all about how he is supposed to act, and which political party he is supposed to belong to. We simply cannot have people showing individualism by having the audacity of getting out of their boxes

As much as "people of color" sounds like total politically correct BS, it's accurate to describe just that- a person of color. Color other than pink/white, like Caucasian. I say this as a pure Caucasian, 100 percent Ukraine, except for Mongol invaders from Asia and so forth.
These racial designations get more and more absurd.

I agree. I'm technically White Hispanic. My mom's from a South American country (and her family's been there for a bit) and my dad's from Canada, tracing back to England. But to most folks I look white. I don't look like what most people think of when they think "hispanic". I "sound" white, "act" white, and my full name sounds incredibly white.
