The killed guy was white - but - they interviewed folks talking about him and he was minding his own business on the way to work. Had he been black, or Hispanic or Asian - I don't think I would have mentioned his race / ethnicity.
The reason I mentioned the immigration status is that is what the news is reporting - since he has no ID - they really don't even know his name - so they are working to 1) identify him with the help of immigration officials and then 2) ascertain his immigration status.
I just am having a hard time with folks wanting to "explain" why there are a large number of Hispanic men out there driving drunk - it's as if there is a cultural excuse for breaking the law. I have a huge problem with that. Besides that fact that this guy is a criminal douchebag - driving a stolen SUV - shitfaced at 8 AM.........
Perhaps it's more racist to try to blame this ON their culture????
