You can't use that now. If you ask any person in America what "Hispanic" means, no one is going to say "Oh that can mean French or Persion or English." Obviously Hispanic in this day pretty much refers to one that is a Mexican national but in some circumstances is also used as a central or even South American origin.
You are only trying to justify that the media is intentionally inflaming the situation.
For 90% of Hispanic people, on the Census they are supposed to answer that they are "white" on the race question. Then answer "hispanic" on the ethnicity question. They are white for the purposes of the Census, and they have been white for hundreds of years. Why should we get to tell hundreds of millions of people that they are no longer white, but rather this new race category we created in the past 20 years?
It's perfectly fine for the media to refer to Zimmerman as straight up white, so white-hispanic is okay because it is no stronger than white by itself.
