Actually he was Hispanic and very noticeably so. I never got why they begged Zimmerman as being white unless they saw his name and assumed he was German or Jewish...

Interestingly, I've noticed a quick backlash with several commentators saying that the Media and the DOJ are "blowing this out of proportion" because the victim is black and they are blaming election year politics saying that we have a racist administration that's out to get white people and wants to use racial divisions to further their causes. I find this odious, of course, but more so I find it interesting because it goes immediately to the reactionary point "you guys only make it a big deal when the guy with the gun is White and the dead guy is Black". Yet, in this case, the shooter is actually Hispanic. A lot of people jumping to a lot of quick conclusions in this case, it seems. I'll be very curious to see how things go and what Zimmerman comes out to say for himself about how things went down.
