"The highest selling cosmetic worldwide is “skin lightening creams”.......there are actually skin bleaching clinics abroad where people are infused with skin lightening formulas."

That is just so untrue

[ArcadeQuarters]

He has spent his 30 year career focusing on his ethnicity and has consistently worked the entire time. He’s full of crap.

[Salvey]

White Hispanics are Caucasians

Yes, many Latin Americans are pure white, deriving from white Spaniards and having no indigenous bloodlines.

You’re right; he’s FOS.

It’s rare to see a fair-skinned, blue-eyed person on TV any more. Everyone is brown or black. The guy isn’t paying attention.

[Ge0ffrey]

He should get a tan and at least pick up some work in commercials.

[Ge0ffrey]

Most of the Latin in Mexican soap operas are of European origin, unless portraying a maid or field worker.

What a dumbass.

[teeman8r]

with his mug, he should do voice over work.

[Tommy Revolts]

Oh, so it’s his skin color and not his acting ability? Ok doofus.

[StAnDeliver]

What does he expect? He did "Wong Foo" and got typecast as a down-low wannabe puta. The only other thing of any note was Sid The Sloth in "Ice Age".

[Albion Wilde]

He’s 5’2”. Not many roles for runts.

He was perfect in the movie about Toulouse-Lautrec. But that's a once in a lifetime role. He was also good in ER. I think he could stop worrying now. He ought to do ads, since all of them that show a white person also show a person of color as the significant other.

Disney? Against another runt’s wishes?
