The letters corresponded to (these are NOT my terms, so if they are not in vogue now - this is a time capsule) N - Negroid O - Oriental I - Indian S - Spanish descent (corresponding to Hispanic or South American) E - Eurasian The real answer is it's just more convenient to now refer to Mr. Zimmerman as white. Who's going to riot otherwise? |

![]() We've come a long way, baby. Those designations are, indeed, archaic.
The 2010 US Census instructions clearly state that "Hispanic" is not a racial designation today. I do agree that the racial aspects of this case are murky and are being exploited by the usual suspects. More concerning is the vigilante behavior and stereotyping, in general. Ocala Mike |
