>>Zimmerman is of white race and Hispanic ethnicity.
What? Race and ethnicity are synonyms.
Maybe you can score some internet points but what's the use of a discussion if words have no meaning and you can make up distinctions where there are none.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> What? Race and ethnicity are synonyms. Race and ethnicity are, perhaps, similar kinds of cultural constructs, but they are orthogonal categories. See, e.g., https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/reic/definitions.asp https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/reic/definitions.asp

- dragonwriter 11y agoYes, neither "race" nor "ethnicity" do denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. They are both cultural in-group, out-group constructs, they just happen to be different constructs rather than synonyms.
