Both his biological  parents are Peruvian Indians, with a few whites and blacks thrown in . He's whiter than Sitting Bull, but probably not by much.   Zimmerman was adopted.

Black crime.  As soon as it came out that Zimmerman is Hispanic, the media immediately blamed the "white" police dept for racial injustice.  The bigger question is, why do Hispanics get a pass and yet this continues to be blamed on whites?  Historically Hispanics have crucified blacks as much as whites have.  Is there only white and black in this world?  Racism exists regardless of white or black.  It seems to me that Hispanics seems to get away with murder these days yet black and whites seem to be blamed for all of the racial inequalities.  I live in Los Angeles where it is legal for Hispanic Illegal Immigrants to drive drunk without a license nor insurance and should they get pulled over nothing will happen to them because they are Hispanic living in a "sanctuary" city.  A white five year old child was ran over by an illegal drunk Hispanic driver and nothing happened to the Hispanic man.  Yet a life was lost simply because the boy was crossing the street.  Tell me why that is fair?  Because if a black man were to be pulled over without a license or car insurance, guess what would happen to him??!!!  He would be profiled as yet another black gangster, his car would be impounded, he would get tickets and probably arrested and beaten up all because he is black.  Yet if he was illegal or even legal but Hispanic, he gets a free pass.  Again, tell me how this is fair!  Obama stopped an illegal Mexican drug and arms trafficker from being executed in Texas and had him deported back to Mexico for the simple reason he isn't American and shouldn't face the death penalty, according to Obama.  This illegal Mexican immigrant kidnapped, raped and killed a 10 year old white girl by smashing a cement block over her head. Tell me why Hispanics in this country get away with murder?  We need to reconsider all this white v. black non-sense.  We need to start coming together and face the issues that happening now.  Right now its a Latino vs. any other American race war.  I have yet to experience any racism from blacks, whites or Asians in Los Angeles.  However, I have experienced plenty of racism from Latinos in Los Angeles. Enough of the white v. black.   You are the most ignorant human being on this site.  You have contradicted everything you said.  Instead of calming the situation as most people have with this being a race issue, you have only made it a race issue and you are clearly racist against white people.  The media immediately reported this as a White v.
