Sorry, he's not white.

He doesn't identify as white. He doesn't look white.

But the Bots are so determined to play along with their cult leader's initial mistake, they deny what they see and what Zimmerman says.

It's pathetic.

You aren't going to get free money or preferential admission treatment by being white. A white person can get free money for merit or some other qualifier, but not skin color.

I'm not complaining, I'm asking. You see, I don't have my race on any government document so I should be able to apply for Hispanic scholarships next semester and any future job I apply for I can say I'm Hispanic. Then again I also have white skin...

Never said he wasn't. His father is White, so that makes him half White

You don't get to decide.

That bit of racisim by the media has gone unnoticed.

Claiming a person who is half latino to be white as a default is to be racist.

Looks like the libs will lose the latino vote.

They're not exclusionary, and it isn't inherently racist.

African is a nationality not a race. Cuban would also be a nationality. One only holds nationality in the country that they are citizens of. You apparently don't know the difference between race and nationality. Hispanic is an ethnic group/culture.
