He is changing his name back to Rodriguez because white actors are being discriminated against in Hollywood right now. How soon before Martin and Charlie Sheen go back to their original names Estevez?

I learned to like Psych while laid up with sprained ankles.

Seriously, I can't think of one house-hold name white-male actor under the age of 50.

Don't care...don't watch their garbage anyway.

Huck Follywood.

So now stage names are racists. Do you know how many actors and actresses change their names for the screen? This could really change history...BTW, you can take down all the John Wayne statues, just leave Marion Michael Morrison alone.

Who talks like this? Is this woke-speak?

I am white until it became politically incorrect so now I am Mexican /s

I don’t care if he changed his name to help his career, almost every actor has done so. But to change (or revert back) to a name that you think will protect you is...well cowardly.

Hey James, word to the wise, it is not going to matter. Appeasement never succeed. What are you going to do when they come after Hispanics? You toss your white friends under the bus and they will not be there to help protect you when the mob is at your door.

Well, Martin doesn’t need the work and Carlos probably wouldn’t get any even if he changed his name back and started dressing like a mariachi.

the casting director was put off by the fact that his Caucasian-like skin tone was out of sync with his last name.

Notice who the actual racists are? Hollywood and the liberals.

So what this non-white Mexican is saying is that he’s been appropriating white culture? Piss off, cabron.

Hollywood has always been fickle. If everyone used their real names it would sound like Shindler’s list.

I respect the guy for stepping up and helping to make it easier for others. THAT is what is “supposed” to happen.

Makes me wonder how Desi Arnaz was ever able to become a Famous Actor, TV Star and Owner of a major Hollywood Studio.

Maybe everyone thought he was Jewish, just like Sammy Davis Jr.

You hit it on the nail. BTW, Dancing With The Stars just fired their long time hosts, Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews. Hmmm.....let me guess the makeup of the new hosts.

Yeah how 'ethnic'. He used his apparent 'Whiteness' when it was a boon to his career and bank account and now that being 'White' is a negative he suddenly rediscovers his racial pride!

F'em!, he goes into the list of if he's in it I'm not watching/supporting it. He's one of the subtle racists that lie to themselves about being racist...........he's and actor!

Many Mexicans are majority genetically white, due to their Spanish Celtic forebearers—los conquistadores (the conquerors) of Mexico.

He thinks he’s special.

Frances Ethel Gumm, Archibald Leach, Norma Jean Mortenson and Marion Michael Morrison all changed their Northwestern European names for more marketable Northwestern European names when they entered the Hollywood business.

(Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne.)

Same happened with the black hot chick, tough lieutenant, in Firefly.

Although being hispanic, she could not get casted as hispanic or roles as a latina, so she had to suppress being hispanic and act black in order to get roles.

You look like a Mexican as Micheal Jackson in his later year looked black.

On a side note, if you have Amazon Prime, watch for free 'Square One' about the Jackson child molestation trials. It looks like all 5 of them were all extrotion rackets.
