The different reactions of the mothers of the two suspects is interesting:

Ayala's mother: "I don’t know why he did this,” Ayala’s mother told KLAS Wednesday. “I don’t know if God can forgive this.”

Keyes' mother: “My son’s side of the story will be told, ‘the truth,’ not the inaccuracies the media will try to portray”

Hispanics are always white, ethnicity is hispanic. Kind of more alarming you and others arent aware of this.

In this country they list them as such. MS-13 ain't White though. Most of the people crossing over are not either.

They aren't sending their best.

Completely understand that, but its not going to change unfortunately. Its not like they're trying to run the narrative of a white guy doing this, its a pos hispanic.

Is that an interlocking “NC” tattooed on his cheek? UNC’s admission standards have gone to sh*t.

MS-13 is basically Salvadoran, and the population of El Salvador is about 10% pure European and about 87% mestizo. The mestizos there are much more European than indio, because the indigenous population in the area was very, very low when the Spanish arrived.

You just seem to be upset that Latino/Hispanic (all basically mestizo) is not an option for "race" on this form.

Did you just come up with that because you think it sounds good?

A story should not be told. Put them both down on live TV. That's how you start fixing some of this.

He is listed as "White" because on most government forms, there are usually five choices for "race" as follows: (1) White, (2) Black or African American, (3) American Indian or Alaska Native, (4) Asian, and (5) Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.

"Latino" or "Hispanic" is treated as "ethnicity" rather than "race."


Exactly, so you are saying that this is systemic!

The most interesting fact about the El Salvadoran populace is that as of a couple of years ago, 30% of El Salvador now lives in the United States.

White people aren’t committing enough crime to keep up with the 14% of the population that is, so they just make up things so the stats justify their rhetoric

So why don't you go up to a Hispanic male or female and call them "white". Let me know the reaction.

How is that remotely relevant to the "Race" selected on the form in the original post?

You are factually correct. However, as a Latino, every time I’ve been asked my race ever there is a box for “Latino”.

Interesting.

Over the last month or so, I have had to complete a LOT of governmental forms. There are ALWAYS two questions. The first is "race," with the five choices described above. The second question asks about Latino heritage (including "no Latin heritage" as one choice. Both questions are invariably there on the same form.

I hope this is not too personal a question. If so, please just say so. Have you ever taken one of those DNA tests that tells your regional heritage (like Ancestry.com)? I ask because I have lots of friends of Mexican heritage, and they invariably have more than half European heritage. My best friend is as "Latino" as he could be (raised partially in Mexico), and his heritage was 70+ percent European and less than 30% Indigenous/Native American.

They label Middle Eastern Muslims as white as well.

They have to blame whitey for terrorism.

Honestly it probably makes him a bigger target. If he was blaxican, he could plead some race card. This removes that strategy. I personally don't care as long as he's tried as an adult and hopefully gets the needle.


We really need to bring back public hanging.

Makes one wonder about the real violent crime statistics.
