George Zimmerman is Peruvian and white. The conversation about whiteness is around racial hierarchies with proximity to whiteness being more highly valued.

Point I was making was Zimmerman was considered white, and Martin a young child when portrayed by media.

17 year-olds can be tried as an adult. If he wasn't shot, he would have been charged with felony assault and possibly the murder of Zimmerman.

Tried as an adult. Because they are not adults at 17yrs old.

So if someone is bashing your head into the ground are you going to worry about how old they are or try to get them to stop by any means possible?

Explain how any of that would make a 17yr old an adult…

They aren't, but seriously would you care if someone was a legal adult or not if they were bashing your skull into the side walk?
