Re: Ricardo Montalban was white.
Again. I'm Mexican. I've lived all my life in Mexico City. I have no idea if I have Aztec blood or not, but that doesn't mean I am not Mexican or that I consider myself white.
Ricardo Montalban was Mexican. He didn't consider himself white.
Isn't that enough for you?

Re: Ricardo Montalban was white.
It's not about being 'exotic', it's not about 'being special'. It's a national identity. Trying to explain this when things are seen in terms of how USA sees race and racism is very, very hard.
Yes, someone can be white skinned and be Mexican, of course you can. My best friend is mexican and she's white skinned and red haired, and one of my cousins is blonde and green eyed. And they're still mexicans. But they don't have any social advantage over me, light skinned but brown haired, or my best friend of my same age who is brown skinned and with black hair. We're exactly on the same social level, and if we four go to ask for the exact same job, we have the exact same opportunities to get said job. Skin color is not as important in Mexico as its in USA. BUT cultural identity is. And my only beef with all this is that, by calling Ricardo Montalban white by USA standars, people erase his cultural identity. In Mexico no one would call him white because no one would care.
