Write your opinion on the matter. Is calling the man hispanic to describe what he looks like a racist statement or not.

I don't really consider it a racist statement,because even though hispanic is not a race(its an ethnic group)its not the officer's fault being so ignorant.Even though i don't consider it a racist statement,deep inside it kind of bothers me because because some hispanics are white,and some are black,and they shouldn't categorize one race as "hispanic".So from one point of view i agree with the lady,and i don't think that every latin american should be categorized as hispanic.I think that what they should do is just forget about the statement,and just focus on the real issue,the rapist(who is still on the loose).
