    Pardon my ignorance, but WHY is skin colour mentioned in your census? How is that legal?

    LOL

    The census is still not Liberal regardless of which party is in charge. But at least you admit you were just making stuff up. I suppose that's a start.

    Oh, and by the way, the first time Hispanic decent was separated from race in a U.S. census was in 1970, while a Republican was president.

    Sadly, some will continue propagating it even after being shown it's fake news.

    Not according to directive No 15 OMB. Besides it really is liberal nonsense and has been criticized by real science. Somehow self identification is a substitute for real data, but that this the progressive way. After all, just remember the liberal inventions of transgenderism and hate crimes. BTW I made a correction, just like the NYT (gasp) does all the time. Too bad CNN and others of their ilk can't. That would be a huge start for your side.

    Far rightwing figureheads immediately invented an elaborate and racist conspiracy theory that CNN had lightened a photo of alleged Fort Lauderdale airport shooter Esteban Santiago shortly after the Friday attack.
    In reality, CNN had yet to air a picture of Santiago, let alone lightened a picture of him. The conspiracy also used a picture of an entirely different man named Esteban Santiago—not the alleged shooter.

    Fake news.

    I think this story has the real shooter pic.

    Is there no shame on the right, if they did indeed lie about the photo doctoring.

    Yeah, sort of like the whole "hands up, don't shoot". Leftists and BLM are STILL running that hard.

    What Is 'White Hispanic'? Fort Lauderdale Shooter Esteban Santiago’s Ethnicity Sets Twitter Abuzz
    BY MARIA VULTAGGIO [MENTION=21584]Mariam[/MENTION]ZZARELLA ON 01/06/17 AT 8:05 PM

    Graphic Video Shows Chaos, Panic After Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooting, Suspect In Custody

    After Esteban Santiago, the alleged shooter who killed five people at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport Friday, was labeled “white Hispanic,” Twitter discussed the meaning of the term. With thousands of mentions, “white Hispanic” soon became the top-trending Twitter term of the day.

    The label “white Hispanic” describes a person who physically appears white, but is of “Latin American or Hispanic birth or heritage,” the Huffington Post wrote in 2013. So, a person can be white and Hispanic because white is a race and Hispanic is an ethnicity.
    The discussion over Santiago’s race versus ethnicity is similar to the one that happened with George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida.

    CNN came under fire after they labeled him a “white Hispanic,” with many claiming the term was about political bias.

    Media reports are saying this man is the Ft Lauderdale airport shooting suspect. Reports are saying he's a white hispanic ISIS supporter

    Ruben Naravette, a columnist for CNN, fired back against the term. “I don’t like the sound of that,” he wrote in 2012. “I’ve written about the thorny subjects of race and ethnicity for nearly a quarter century and I rarely hear this term. We might have been able to see this coming given that there is no Hispanic race and Hispanics come in all colors.” Naravette added: “Still, mark my words. Wherever this road leads, it's not good-- not for Hispanics nor the rest of the country.”

    While people of Latino descent come in different colors, many of the netizens tweeting Friday claimed there was a political bias tacked onto Santiago-- just like there supposedly was with Zimmerman.

    “Hispanics are minorities until they do something the Left hates, then they are ‘white,’” one Twitter user wrote Friday. The post was liked more than 2,000 times and received nearly 1,000 retweets.

    The conversation about being “white Hispanic” was seemingly started by author Tariq Nasheed. “There are reports that the identity of one of the Ft. Lauderdale shooting suspects is a white Hispanic named Esteban Santiago,” he wrote earlier in the day.

    White Hispanic is a correct term because the US Census clearly states that Hispanic is NOT a race. So is reading considered race baiting?

    Oh ... is the right wing showing now his real face of racist ... or why does it matter from which origin this shooter is, who was US citizen and served in US Forces in War of Iraq which made him mentally ill?

    And if he would have been whiter as a snowflake, you will not mention it for sure and your reaction will be a shrunk, but hey ... an Hispanic? Trump is right!

    ABC reported this rumor a day or two ago. They didn't mention any public records though.

    Perhaps you could link to those public records so I could take a look for myself?

    No, I think assuming things from those public records could be fake news.

    Savvy?
