The Study of Racialism

I would guess that Hispanic criminals are classified as "white" in order to hide crime problems. Crime victims would be "Hispanic" in order to promote the idea of the eternally victimized "minority." Classifying Hispanic criminals as "white" would also hide the embarrassing problem of frequent black/Hispanic "hate crimes." It perpetuates the ideal of racist whites versus innocent blacks. Classifying Hispanics as "white" in prison statistics would hide the embarrassment of whites as a minority in prisons.

Despite all the stories of "White flight" and " burglary attacks on innocent whites in their homes", the facts still remain that Black men murder each other more than anyone else. And most Hispanic/Black crimes come down to drugs and gangs, much like Black on Black crimes do. When White males start joining gangs and selling drugs at the rate young Hispanic and Black males do you'll see White prison rates start to increase drastically as well!

On the other topic, Hispanics are classified both racially and ethnically. So if prison records only ask for 'race' and most Hispanics fit the description of Caucasian why wouldn't they go under White crime statistics? Fair is fair. I've seen (White) Hispanics added to the the White population count when it came to providing the racial data for America (with them I think the White population is 76 or 79%). It is a double standard to segregate them when the school test scores are low and the crime rates are printed out.

Subsequent messages diverged from discussing U.S. ethnicity to whether the inhabitants of the Mediterranean are of the "Caucasian race." They have been split to Mediterraneans and the Caucasian "Race" in the forum "Racialism in Science, including Craniofacial Anthropometry."

The poster lists her as white/Hispanic. If I saw her on the street and had to give a description of her to the police, I'd say she was a medium to dark complected Hispanic child. She looks like she's got some black and American Indian mixed with the Caucasian, but that's a pretty typical combination for a Hispanic kid. Her mom looks Hispanic as well -- a mix of black, white, and Indian. I hope they find her and that she and her sisters are safe.

In the common definition of the word used in the United States, neither the girl or her mother are white, despite what they might be called in other countries. It's a good thing they have pictures of them up because the description wouldn't help anyone find them.
