Errrr, George is a  douche

[Gopher Gary]

He killed a black guy, so that must mean it was racially motivated, right.

USA Today quoted a local resident that gave his name as Howie Felterbush

A man of Hispanic descent kills an African American youth. Lets commit genocide against whites. Its their fault, because whitey.

The justice department

Is in the process of investigating

for civil rights violations

Plus your question is certainly racially motivated, right?

['Butterflies']

I have no idea if it racially motivated. There is a very good chance that Zimmerman was using racial profiling though. I doubt he would have behaved the same way towards a posh looking white boy. I dunno if that counts as "racially motivated."

[Jack]

Is there such a thing as a sentence which notes race that isn't racially motivated? Do Hispanics generally dislike blacks?

Check your white male privilege at the door.

Can't figure out why this is world news.

[skyblue1]

I couldnt figure out why the news stations

Would show nothing but this trial

As a news junkie  I found the coverage of

what should have been a local news story

Atrocious

Can't figure out why this is world news.

No. Me neither. If this had happened in France or Australia, I doubt if it would have made any kind of major news in Britain.

For some reason, Britain news covers America, as if it weren't a foreign country. We hear a lot about what goes on over there, and we hear about American politics.

I dont like it, and I dont really want to hear about domestic American news. Im sure you guys dont hear much about what goes on in Britain.

[Bastet]

Not unless I look for UK news.

You miss my point. It's not a big story. It's world news because someone made it world news. Crap like this happens in the US all the time. Don't understand why it's even national news here, rather than simply a local news story, like the blue one said. Not understanding why this one case is so sensationalized.
