User blog comment:Bigwolfonbase/Affirmative Action apparently it even applies to the pack/@comment-74.47.214.146-20130716014305/@comment-4091815-20130717061019

They call Mr. Zimmerman "white" to reduce the public's understanding that what happened was a "minority on minority" crime.

If they call him "white" they can demonize him more easily and further advance their race-based political agenda.

As for the phrase "Magical Negro" - Deaton still fits the definition since he is also advising Stiles and Derek and the other non-minority characters.
