For political reasons (to avoid creating an animosity between two [[Democrat]] voting blocs), the [[liberal media]] invent the term "white Hispanic" rather than "Hispanic", over the objection of George Zimmerman's family.  It would typically be considered racist to play that word game in another context; no one in the media would refer to a politician as a "white African American."
