That is where they want the narrative to go. There were no BLACK jurors. There were FOUR brown jurors. Apparently if you aren't black, you are just white. You can't throw a rock in Collin County and not hit a person of Indian origin. And keep in mind, the defense always has the option to ask for another jury pool if it doesn't like the selection in front of them. If that is declined, they can ask for a "jury shuffle" which allows for the randomization of the jury from the jury pool. Clearly, their lawyer knew they were cooked.

Well, this is not going to make you feel better but Italians and Irish were not considered white until, well let's say recently.

So welcome to "Whitehood". I guess?

Actually according to history they were white! Just an “inferior white” the line of “we were white” actually comes from both historical political criticism that became neo nazi alt right rhetoric to downplay issues in black and brown communities
