I see it with Asians and Indians too, that climb up the racial ladder is super real.

In Florida, mestizos and people who look like Zimmerman are pejoratively referred to in the Latino community as "indios" (even by African-Latinos). Latinos that call themselves "white" around me are usually of full-blooded (or at least look so way more than Zimmerman) Spanish / French / Portuguese / European Jew / German, etc, ancestry. Reactionary white Cubans in Dade will tell someone like Zimmerman that he's not white in a New York minute. Having an indigenous mother and a white father doesn't cut it. And in Peru he wouldn't be white, either. The more dominant the fully white section of the population is, the more jealously they guard access to "whiteness".

Some of the variation in terms is due to the vast variety of racial classifications depending on whether the national origin in question is part of either the black/white, brown/white, or mix-of-all-three region. Peru is generally regarded as "indio", or part of the brown/white grouping, even though there are significant black, white and Asian populations as well as indigenous. There's plenty of racism, but unless they're Americanized, most mestizos that I speak to who are clearly mixed are usually trying to claim the meaningless "Hispanic" designation. I always see that "white Hispanic" designation on the FBI's Most Wanted List at the post office as well, with these guys with features that look like Geronimo.

Post-script:

I thought about what you said a bit and agree to some extent, once I thought about Zimmerman's background. Thinking about him being brought up in the US, I can see him viewing himself that way, based on his father and upbringing as a judge's kid. I have encountered some biracial children of a white parent and a non-black minority parent who identify as white if no one challenges or questions the self-designation, and if they're not raised around a significant population of the other race to foster identification with them. Sort of like black Dominicans self-identifying as white if they have even a trace of white ancestry.

He'd be white in Brazil, DR, maybe even PR

Black comedians are racist or are they pointing out shit through humor?
When Paul Mooney says that white people have the complexion of protection is being racist or whining or is he pointing out some shit?
And I've yet to hear a black person ask Kerry Washington or Saniah Lathan or Halle Berry what's with all the white men.
 
Interesting enough many Latinos get classified as white by the FBI and numerous police departments. I honestly believe this is to keep dialogue focused on black crime or too artificially inflate crime rates to make the statistical illusion that white people are being arrested and incarcerated in numbers proportional to their population.

Seriously I hope Zimmerman is put into custody and finds himself in prison. Knowing he demographics of many prisons I doubt Zimmerman would make it out alive.

You can never tell with these people

I've seen whites (not all whites..just the usual twats) argue to separate whites from white Hispanics/latinos so that their statistics become prettier

Usually come across this when people are justifying racial profiling and the demonization of blacks

If George Zimmerman stalked some poor defenseless woman in the middle of the night and got beat up by her, then shot her dead....hmmm

Instead he gets beat up by a black kid for doing the same and is applauded for killing him

Makes sense

Stop that he got beat up shit.
That's fat George's account.

NONE of that coward's blood was found on the concrete.

"White hispanic" is the best thing that ever happened to brown mestizos.

They LOVE that classification.

Yes, they do. Gets them out of the "people of color" caste designation. And mestizos treat pure indigenous people horribly in Latin America.

Yeah, there's a lot of denial among African-Latinos, but the mestizo/indio thing is serious, if not downright hostile/violent. I don't have much experience with Mexicans or Mexican-Americans, but from what I've seen and heard about California, it sounds pretty intense. I know in Chicago it can get pretty bad too.

This is true, but people can't help speculating.

You may be on to something. I noticed that at the post office. Guys looking like Geronimo designated as 'white Hispanic'. Smh

Everytime I hear a so-called Black leader use the phrase "people of color" I just want to kick their teeth down their throats.

I know we're not going to see eye to eye on this one, lol. There are many issues that are common to all "people of color", seriously. But in nearly every indicator, the problem in question affects people of African descent in a unique manner and more intensely. The same holds true within the Latino community. African Latinos suffer unique issues that European-Latinos do not. If they are sufficiently European in appearance/ancestry, their experience is more akin to what a "white ethnic" (to borrow a Chicago phrase) experiences until they assimilate to dominant US culture.

The only "people of color" group that experiences these issues as intensely in the US is probably Native Americans. And ironically, they're the only people who are shat (is that even a verb tense, lol) upon as much in Latin America. Family members who have served in the military tell me that out west, Mexicans treat Native Americans like sub-humans, when all they are is the same people with Spanish surnames.

But I feel him though because even though we can all be considered people of color they are quick to disassociate and very quick to treat people of African descent like shit when they get the chance.

Stay in your lane goggle eyes.

There is no unity amongst "minorities" and it's time to stop pretending there is.
