Another “White” serial killer

Crime Stats Have Become a Joke

May 2, 2024



The state of Florida continues to classify Blacks, who have Spanish surnames, as White people in crime data. This is not isolated to Orange County; it is statewide.

Carlos Baez-Nieves has been charged with the murders of two alleged prostitutes, Nichole Daniels, 44, and Fatia Flowers, 41, occurring in March and April of this year. Orange County Sheriff John Mina is calling him a “potential serial killer.” These two murders will appear in Florida state crime data, as well as federal crime data, as one White-on-White murder and one White-on-Black murder.

No word on the immigration status of the suspect.

To this day, the federal government and a large number of US states have no racial category for Latinos. In Florida, it does not matter if a suspect is White, Amerindian, Mestizo, Mulatto, or Black if they have a Spanish surname. They are all classified as White offenders. This is why our Open Source Interracial Homicide Project is so important. We are creating the only comprehensive picture of what interracial homicide really looks like in the USA.

Hispanics/Latinos are classified as White racially (and classified ethnically as Hispanic/Latino) in the US. I have seen some instances where a Hispanic/Latino who is predominately Black is classified racially as Black (and ethnically Hispanic/Latino) but rarely.

Not in Florida. All are listed as White.

That certainly skews the crime statistics, but I get that "Latino" is more cultural and more linguistic (Brown seems to be the most prevalent race here, though). I saw a chart on X that showed that White Americans are less violent than White people in some European countries after you remove non-White Latin Americans from that racial category.

In Canada, they list all of them as Latin American.

Latinos are white in the US, but Latinos by ethnicity "White - Latino" as far as i understood.

Which race in the USA census do romani gypsies usually check? Thanks
ChatGPT
In the United States Census, people of Romani (Gypsy) descent typically select their race based on personal identification and the options available on the census form. The census form does not have a specific category for Romani people, so they might choose one of the following options:

White: Many Romani people in the U.S. identify as White, which aligns with their European heritage.
Some Other Race: Some Romani individuals might select "Some Other Race" and write in "Romani" or "Gypsy" to specify their ethnicity.
Additionally, there is a separate question about ethnicity where respondents can indicate if they are of Hispanic or Latino origin, but this does not directly apply to Romani identification unless they have a Hispanic background.

It's important to note that the way individuals choose to identify can vary widely based on personal preference and interpretation of the available options on the census form.

Well what Is exactly white or can be defined as white to you?




The U.S government doesn't have caste terms such the ones were used In colonial Spanish America it's hard for the average individual unless they are aware they are predominantly Amerindian or Black.

Genetically we are all triracials, what matter Is which blood you are more connected, that's how latinos see themselves.
