re: #32 mattand

I’m really not getting this focus on Zimmerman’s ethnicity and how the attack can’t be racially motivated.

Is the breitbart.com News/John Birch viewpoint that since Zimmerman is part Latino, the murder can’t have any racial motivation? Am I getting that right?

That actually shows the racism of those who bring it up. The occassional tensions between the black and Hispanic communities (which are, yes, intersecting) are well-known. They certainly can be race-based. So denying racism on the basis that the shooter is Hispanic is akin to saying: “Hee hee, we whites aren’t responsible this time, so get off our shiny white backs, nobody cares”.
