like, you said you don't think it complicates the issue, it makes it simpler. because it never would have been a story if he was hispanic (forget the half part for now, let's just deal in hypotheticals) so i tried to rebut that by saying it complicates the story rather than makes it simpler because it already became a story with the assumption that he was anglo (anglo with a german name, whatever, our ethnic labels were never meant to be accurate) and they were not going to decide to not care (the public) or to not cover (the media) the story after they'd already started.
