Jamaicans get pissed when you call them "African Americans", too...

From comedian Dave Atell...

"So, the Eskimos-- or, as I call them, 'Snow Mexicans'..."

Why the thread?

It exposes the hypocrisy of those who call Zimmerman "white", but the President "black". Both have an equal amount of "white", but one is identified as being "black" and the other "white", when the fact is that if you went strictly based on appearance, one would be called "black" and the other "hispanic". Base their racial identity on upbringing/environment and you'd have to call both of them "white". So why does one get called "black" and the other "white"??

Is there a big controversy about Zimmerman's ethnicity is there? I haven't made a thing about it. In fact I could care less what his ethnic background is. I haven't heard anyone important making anything about it either. BTW I thought "Zimmerman" was a Jewish name.

Our President wouldn't have interrupted his golf outing for 2 seconds if he thought the situation couldn't be portrayed as white man slaughters innocent black youth. There is no play for Obama witout the race card.

Oh you make me tired
