Yes, Obama is half-black, but obviously would not pass as white....Zimmerman on the other hand is Latino, but he's also half white and could potentially pass as white.
Zimmerman isn't white, are you CLUELESS!?
This is a white male, or better yet Bardock, look in the mirror.

Talking about race, anyone else think that "Latinos", at least the ones which obviously aren't black, will be assembled into the "white" race in the US over the coming decades, just as Italians and Spanish people have?
Getting off point, Zimmerman does not look white..

Obama's mother is white, why is he black? 😆

I've got a Colombian friend of purely(as far as has been traced) Euro-white descent. He said he was never even called "hispanic" until he got here. He was just a white dude in Colombia, which is racially much more accurate.
Disgrace: DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson Has No Idea Who Kate Steinle is.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified on Capitol Hill today about a series of ongoing immigration, illegal immigration and security issues. When asked about whether the Obama administration had reached out to the family of Kate Steinle, the 32-year-old woman who was killed in San Francisco two weeks ago by an illegal alien who had been deported five times, Johnson had no idea who she was.
"Has the administration reached out to the Steinle family, to your knowledge?" Rep. Steve Chabot asked Johnson.
"To who?" Johnson replied.
"To the family of the woman who brutally murdered by this individual who had committed seven different felonies in four different states and to my understanding had been deported, kept coming back, has the administration reached out to that family?" Chabot asked again.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that question sir," Johnson said.
The answer is no, not a single person in the Obama administration has reached out to the Steinle family and it's a disgrace. Jeh Johnson and President Obama should watch a few interviews of Steinle's family talking about Kate's death and show some respect.
"I wish someone would reach out to us," Brad Steinle said during an interview on The Kelly File last night.
When the White House was asked last week to comment on the Kate Steinle case, Press Secretary Josh Earnest said comment on "this specific case" could not be issued and that reporters should refer to DHS for information. It turns out the guy who leads DHS has no clue about who Kate Steinle is. Again, a disgrace.

You don't expect the White House to reach out to every family that had some murdered. Nor should they be expected to.
First of all the entire section implies that the administration is to blame for this and they need to reach out because they are at fault. That is not the case. This whole story is getting more attention and political backing then it should.

Seriously, walk into a room and say hispanic isn't a race. Listen to all the gasps. (And ignore the fact that they are due to a random person walking into a room and saying that. Ok bad example, but you get the point.)

I live in a largely hispanic area, this is true.
