    Fact: Zimmerman called 911.
    Fact: Trayvon was walking in Zimmerman's neighborhood
    Fact: Trayvon was black.|
    Facts: Zimmerman is not black. He is Hispanic, which is an ethnic marker, not a race.
    Fact: Zimmerman told 911 he was suspicious of the person, citing his hoodie, his waistband and his race. The waistband and hoodie were added onto the race.
    Fact: Zimmerman got out of his car to follow Trayvon after admitting he was suspicious of him and was angry that these guys always get away.
    Fact: Trayvon, other than being black, had done absolutely nothing to attract suspicion.
    All those are not disputed, they are in the 911 tapes.

    It is true that there is a conclusion drawn from these facts, that Trayvon was chased and confronted because of Zimmerman's suspicions, based on race.

    PS. Zimmerman's race actually is not really relevant to his decision to react toward Trayvon with suspicion based upon Trayvon's race. Minority people do absorb and internalize negative stereotypes they are raised among.
