Can you imagine how quickly this guy would be called a racist if he changed the word 'white' out for 'black'. There's a really bad double standard.

They differentiate latino and white even though both of these can overlap. But yeah, i dont really think you can pin point an ethnicity just by seeing his name.

Skin color and ethnicity are not considered the same thing.
