Hispanics have always been counted as an ethnicity, not a race.

Don't know why states don't have an automatic life sentence for a DUI with multiple fatalities. Not sure the populace would stomach it for one fatality, but surely multiple would trigger enough anger.


Especially if the person driving under the influence intended to cause fatalities.

This is true and it's stupid. The federal government classifies hispanics' race as "white". It makes little sense, because most of the immigrants we have here have more native American blood than white. It is true that they are largely mixed race, my Mexican wife for example is 80%+ native American (Mayan), 6% African, with the balance being European. Of course parts of South America have much higher European bloodlines and look more like Europeans. Even different parts of Mexico have varied mixtures. That being said, most hispanics in the US are majority native American blood and don't look "white" at all.

They are counted as people of color for immigration/welfare/voting/college admissions etc as you mentioned. But they always seem to be counted as White when crime is involved.


This is a fact. Later when it is time to deport this man, THE SAME fricking writer of this story will flip the script and write about the injustices of ICE towards this person of color.
