If George Zimmerman is a White Hispanic is Barack Obama a Black White or a White Black

Led by the New York Times, a new version of white person has been created, the White Hispanic. As certainly as day follows night, if a Liberal member of the media refers to Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon Martin, he is identified as a white Hispanic. It turns out that his father was white, his mother Peruvian. He identifies himself as Hispanic, and – for those who care - is registered as a Democrat.   Has there been a change in the NY Times style book so that people of mixed heritage are now described in terms like this?

Barack Obama is the son of a white mother and a Kenyan father. For some reason, the Liberal media identifies him as Black. So why is Zimmerman’s racial identity modified with the term “white” while Obama’s is not. Could it be that the Left is inherently racist?

Nah! Of course not. Just ask them.

Here's Bernard Goldberg on this issue:

The national media doesn’t do stories on black-on-black crime. . . . They don’t do stories on black-on-white crime. . . . The New York Times, in almost a caricature of a liberal media, refers to George Zimmerman as a ‘white Hispanic.’ I guarantee you that if George Zimmerman did something good — if he finished first in his high school graduating class when he was younger — they wouldn’t refer to him as a white Hispanic, he’d just be a Hispanic. . . . He’s only a ‘white Hispanic’ because they need the word ‘white’ to further the story line, which is, White, probably racist vigilante shoots an unarmed black kid.

Here's Jonah Goldberg (no relation):

"White Hispanic.” That’s how the New York Times, Reuters, and other media outlets have opted to describe George Zimmerman, a man who would simply be Hispanic if he hadn’t shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The term, rarely if ever used before this tragedy, is necessary in telling the Martin story in a more comfortable way.

What’s the comfortable way? It’s the way the blame for Martin’s death belongs squarely at the feet of “the system.” And “the system” is a white thing, don’t you know?

When will the Zimmerman standard be applied to Barack Hussein Obama?

NY Times flak catcher Phil Corbett denies, denies, denies:

“To suggest that our coverage of this story or our description of Mr. Zimmerman is intended to serve an agenda or push a political view is simply ridiculous. It’s just false,”
