Re: Ricardo Montalban was white.

[ex_valour601]

There is very much a class problem in Mexico, but most people are so ignorant of the fact that I've heard them openly dismiss the concept that those at the top of the hierarchy actually exist (or that they're also quite wealthy), so it just adds to the confusion around the topic.

As you said before, the concept of a Latino identity is a complex issue, but I think the real issue is the fact that we're apparently still in the sixties in terms of casting, and not Montalban himself, although a comment made in a similar discussion mentions that he's grown paler as time passed:

"...In fact, part of the reason Ricardo's family immigrated to Mexico was due to how poorly "dark" Spaniards were treated in their home country due to lasting racism against anyone remotely North African looking. Ricardo Montalbán had noticeably darker skin that wasn't just because he tanned a lot. It began to fade into a paler complexion as he aged though, hence the big difference between.

and this: http://images.zap2it.com/images/celeb-53949/ricardo-montalban-1.jpg"

(I'm lazy, so I just pasted everything.)

Apparently he was also made-up to be paler during Wrath of Khan to show how the planet affected him, or something similar, but I don't know enough to fact-check that.

EDIT: I tried to wiki some of this to find better sources, but I gave up after seeing that Hollywood back then regularly cast him in the role of Asian characters and wanted to change his name to Ricky Martin. The silliness is too much.
