I didn't know there were "white" Hispanics, at least I don't consider Hispanics to be white.
That's what it says in the demographics in Post #19.

Freddy Marquez told the Denver Post that he had attended the party and all the victims were members of the same extended family who were celebrating the birthdays of Marquez's wife and her brother.
He said that his family had left early because his wife had to work early the next morning. His wife woke up around 4 a.m. to get ready for work and saw all her missed calls.
She lost her mother and two brothers in the shooting.
“It’s just crazy, it’s not what we expected on Mother’s Day,” Marquez said. “I’m at a loss for words.”
In an initial report, police said the shooter knew the victims. Police have not released their names and said they are still investigating a motive.
“Today we find ourselves mourning the loss of lives and praying solemnly for those who were injured and those who lost family members in a senseless act of violence on Sunday morning," Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said in a statement.

The incident was Colorado's worst mass shooting since a gunman killed 10 people at a Boulder supermarket March 22. The killings appear to be the deadliest gun-slaying in Colorado Springs history, and are tied for the deadliest mass murder in Colorado Springs history, said Colorado Springs Police Department historian Dwight Haverkorn.
The party celebrated the birthdays of Nubia Marquez, 28, and her brother, Melvin Perez, who would have turned 31 this week, as well as their mother, Joana Cruz, who would have turned 54 this week, Nubia Marquez said on Sunday.
"My mom had always liked celebrating them together," said the woman, who had attended the party with her husband, Freddy Marquez.
Had the couple not left around 10 p.m., their fates might have been different. When they departed Joana Cruz's home, "everybody was calm," Freddy Marquez said. "Everybody was good."
Both Melvin Perez and Joana Cruz were killed. Also among the deceased were Nubia Marquez's other brother, Jose Guttierez, 21; Melvin Perez's wife, Mayra Perez, 32; and Mayra Perez's sister Sandra Ibarra and brother Jose Ibarra, the couple said.
Freddy Marquez identified the suspected shooter as Sandra Ibarra's boyfriend and described him as "quiet" and "serious," and said he always carried a gun. He had met the alleged gunman only once and said "there was nothing out of the ordinary" about him. The couple knew the man only by the the nickname "Junior."
Freddy Marquez described his mother-in-law, Joana Cruz, as "loving" and "hard working."
"She was always laughing," he said of the mother of four.
Her sons were "just like their mom," he added. "They were all great people."
For hours Sunday, Freddy and Nubia Marquez huddled with relatives outside crime tape, about 200 feet from where their loved ones died. Freddy Marquez wrapped his arm around his wife's neck and she rested her head on his chest, blocking her view of crime scene technicians outside her mother's home.
A woman who lives nearby in the mobile home park said she awoke to the sound of what she believes were gunshots and eventually heard crying outside. Two young children were put in the back of a patrol car.
"And on Mothers Day," said the woman, who did not wish to be named.

I'll take a shot at defining Hispanic .........That is a Spanish speaking person who is from Central or South America that has any combination of the following possible DNA make up...........White European from Spain/Portugal, Aztec or Inca Indian (feather) and/or some Africa heritage.
For the most part I see Hispanics as predominately Indian (feather) with copper colored skin, thick straight Black hair and brown eyes..........from an Aztec or Inca Indian background with any combination of White or Black DNA or none of that.
Its possible to be a White Hispanic just because you were born native to that area of the Americans and speak the language even though all your ancestry was European...........and they look European.
However, George Zimmerman had some Indian in him.............he sure didn't look like an average White European with those close set eyes in a smaller skull top of the head shape....that is much more a central Indian look.........
