Who knows?

Who knows! George Zimmerman, the man who shot Travon Martin was called an Hispanic during the trial. He is the child of a white man of German descent and an Afro-Peruvian woman from Peru. President Obama is called a black and his father was black and his mother was white. In mixed race individuals it appears that the non-white race determines what they are called. Parents of mixed race children say they determine the race when the child is born, that is, what they put on the birth certificate is the determining factor. Some say it goes by the mother’s race since the mother is always known. Some say it goes by the father’s race since historically the father’s last name is used. Some did not vote for Obama because he is black it is considered racist. Others voted for Obama because he was black so what is that called? When Al Smith, the first Catholic ran for president many Catholics voted for him because he was Catholic. Many others voted against him because he was Catholic. What is that called? When Sotomayor was appointed to the Supreme Court she said: “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life, Does that mean a person’s race can make them more qualified to be a judge or does it mean that they will be biased?
