(And, I mean, so is Martin Sheen, but he doesn't play it on the show)

I know the construction of race in America is different, but from a European perspective, the idea that a man whose mother was Irish (and white) and whose father was from Galicia (also white, and where the bulk of the population could be dumped in Ireland or Scotland and would blend right in) is a POC is just really, really hard to get your head around.

(And yes, I know that Martin Sheen adopted a stage name because of anti-Hispanic prejudice (and now regrets it). I also know that Europeans have certain constructions of race that are equally weird. It still doesn't compute for me).

He's a white hispanic, but it doesn't mean he's not hispanic. And considering the job was given to him in America from an American creator, the European perspective has no relevance.

a lot of Latin people look whiter because the Spanish gene is more dominant. If the Indian gene is more dominant they will look darker and shorter. I know how obvious this sounds.
