It is unreasonable for that question to be met by a sucker punch and a MMA beatdown. I guess the lesson here is If your going to beat up the little hispanic guy, make sure hes unarmed first.
..this may or may be an accurate assessment of what transpired....we will never know
If Zimmerman approached a white guy and the fore mentioned robberies were performed by white guys would that be racism on part of Zimmerman, what if they were Asian and the crimes were committed by Asians, same question....

What was reasonable for Z to do was to do what the He was entrusted to do by the Neighborhood watch to Observe and Report. Once He reported to 911 His job was finished.
911 told Him what the wanted Him not to do.
Z disregarded what 911 because He was not satisfied with what they wanted Him not to do.
At that point He was acting on his own personal behalf because He was not doing what the Neighborhood Watch instructed or what 911 instructed. He was no longer a Neighborhood Watch Person doing His job because He had already done that.
