White people cast as Mexicans

because Hollywood.

Heck they even threw in a Puerto Rican in there because Mexican actors apparently don't exist.

What white person was cast as a Mexican here?

And as for Luis Guzman, the guy is just the man. If it means he has to play Mexican instead of Borricua for the movie, so be it. And who says every Mexican cop is Mexican born and bred? Are all American cops Caucasians born in the United States?

I'm sure the OP would be very surprised to learn that there are, in fact, white mexicans. Mexicans come in all colors. It's not a race. I've personally known blue eyed, blonde haired mexicans.

Anyway, no idea what the OP is talking about in this movie..

Agreed. Some the the explorers for Spain and the Conquistadores came from Northern Spain (Bilbao) where the people usually have fair skin and blond hair. About 3 or 4 generations after the Conquistadores, many people from Eastern Europe (Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, etc...) came to the territory we now know as Mexico. A small percentage of the Eastern Europeans and Northern Spaniard intermarried with each-other and did not "cross-bread" with Mezitos, Aztecs, Andalucians, etc... Not to mention the influx of white Anglo Americans who settled in Mexico in more recent decades. So yes there are white Mexicans!

OP seems to be mentally retarded to think Mexicans are a race. Most of them are white and some of them are Asian.

There's only three races:

Caucasian / Mongoloid / Negroid.

OP needs to give up his account for this stupid ass thread.

A bright light can hollow the deepest of nothingness.

There are nationals (people from the country) and there are ethnicities (people with the same origin). I'm sure they took whomever did well in the audition. I'm sure lots of people were auditioned.
