Oh, please. I don't recall Scott's ethnicity ever being mentioned on the show (though, to be fair, I ff through a lot of his scenes because holy gods he annoyed me), and I think I only heard about the actor's ethnicity sometime after I stopped watching.

Scott as a character sucked, and quite frankly, I started disliking him about three episodes in. Maybe two. Just...not a character I gave a damn about. At all. And his character never got better.
