Small-Scale Question Sunday for August 25, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I think the argument is that it allows extra flexibility in reporting, making it possible to include them as white or not depending on what's convenient for the narrative being pushed at the time.

George Zimmerman was reported exclusively as "White Hispanic" because otherwise the main narrative of the story did not hold well. The term existed before but I don't think I saw a lot of usage of it in MSM prior to that.
