Can this cavern be quantified?
Can you re-write this in an active voice? Who is doing the considering? Is the person doing the considering you?

It would be more accurate and explanatory if you posted, "Basically the only explanation [Gathomas88 can come up with] for why this could be....[ and Gathomas88 believes that the limits of Gathomas88's imagination are are identical to the limits of the realm of possibilities and
ethnicity means whatever Gathomas88 tells it to mean ]...is..."
According to...?
And what evidence have you provided exactly?
Are perceptions of racial identity something for which only white people are required to provide evidence and justification for some bizarre reason?
You still haven't provided a single good reason why Latinos
should be considered to be white. You just keep repeating it as if it were some sort of fact. This is patently absurd, as there are no such thing as "facts" where ethnic definitions of race are concerned; a truth you continue to stubbornly ignore no matter how many times it is pointed out to you.
The definition of "whiteness" I am using here should be patently obvious for anyone with the eyes to see. It is basically a term which applies to anyone who can be said to be, on either an ethnic or genetic basis, a Caucasian European, or of primarily Caucasian European descent.
This is a view that has been backed by numerous other "white" people in this very thread. It is also a definition which rather clearly does not apply to Zimmerman.
I still fail to see why it is that you seem to have so much trouble grasping it.
Well it is pretty obvious you use your personal hurt feelings to guide your responses. You give no facts just opinion. Again that northern european stock doesn't consider hispanics 'white' doesn't change fact.
Again, what "fact?" Ethnic notions of race are not based upon fact. They are based upon group and cultural consensus.
You still haven't explained why you seem to think that, when it comes to "whiteness," apparently everyone else's opinion matters besides actual "white" people.
There are whites and white non-hispanic-
True, but actual "white Hispanics" look like the people pictured below.
No offense to anyone, but it should be pretty freaking obvious where Zimmerman is concerned...
... that "one of these things is not like other."
The man stands out like a bleeding sore thumb.
Ethnically and physically speaking, there isn't a single thing "white" about him other than his last name.
Frankly, if Zimmerman is "white," than so is Obama.
You jumped into this because of your opinion that 'liberal' media- not white folks are distorting your opinion of what tag Zimmerman should have. Please be honest. Again your 'get whitey' line was all too revealing.
He is not what I or most other white people would define as being "white." Again, I don't see how it is in any way objectionable to complain when non-white racists attempt to forcibly hoist him upon us.
I do believe it speaks volumes that you use the color of a person's skin to be the standard for deciding race/ethnic group.
Skin color, physical features, ancestry, ethnic background, etc, etca....
These things are more or less the very definition of "race" are they not?
