Many in the media assumed in early reports that Zimmerman was a Caucasian. After all, "Zimmerman" sounds like a white person's name. When that turned out not to be true, the narrative changed to Zimmerman being identified by the media as a "white Hispanic."

If the media and the race hustlers like Sharpton and Obama had initially realized that Zimmerman was Hispanic, this story may have remained a local news story.

Indeed, your second paragraph is most likely correct, Hoot Gibson. Hispanic vs. Black doesn't charge the media batteries like Caucasian vs. Black.
