And he tried to make some bullshyt
Excuse about it having nothing to do with concealing his Jewish ancestry.

Maybe Jesse Jackson wasn’t far off when he referred to them as ‘white interlopers’.

So many "white-passing" celebrities out there...Jewish, Mexican, middle eastern...

Freddie Mercury, Kasey Kasem...

I remember that one episode of Saved by the Bell, Slater didn't know he was Mexican lol...

This quote from Martin Sheen in 2003;

He adopted his stage name, Martin Sheen, from a combination of the CBS casting director, Robert Dale Martin, who gave him his first big break, and the Catholic televangelist archbishop, Fulton J. Sheen.[16] In a 2003 Inside the Actors Studiointerview, Sheen explained,

Whenever I would call for an appointment, whether it was a job or an apartment, and I would give my name, there was always that hesitation and when I'd get there, it was always gone. So I thought, I got enough problems trying to get an acting job, so I invented Martin Sheen. It's still Estevez officially. I never changed it officially. I never will. It's on my driver's license and passport and everything. I started using Sheen, I thought I'd give it a try, and before I knew it, I started making a living with it and then it was too late. In fact, one of my great regrets is that I didn't keep my name as it was given to me. I knew it bothered my dad.[8][9][16][17]

On 9/11, my 'White card' was revoked​

Opinion: On 9/11, my 'White card' was revoked

Dean Obeidallah writes that on September 11th, 20 years ago, he learned what White privilege truly meant. The tragedy that brought down the Twin Towers in Manhattan also unleashed a wave of anti-Arab hate -- which had been foreign to Obeidallah until then.

And let’s be honest, the average CAC doesn’t understand the difference between someone who is Spanish and someone who is Hispanic. They would’ve thought Martin Sheen jumped the border to get to America if he used his birth name. His agent did the right thing.

People from Spain ARE Hispanic lol. They are the original Hispanics. Hispanic means "relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, especially those of Latin America".


People from Spain aren't Latino. Latino means that either you or your family/ancestry is from Latin America. Spain isn't apart of Latin America. However, in the United States, the words "Hispanic" and "Latino" have become interchangeable to many people.

Call an actual Spanish person from
Spain “Hispanic” and they’ll spit in your face and call you a ‘perra’. Spanish people are very adamant about not being associated with the term “Hispanic”.

To them, those are conquered mulatto/mixed people from the Americas. Hispanic people are NOT Spanish. They just speak Spanish. Americans are not called English just because the majority of us speak that language right?

Ehhh he mightve put some extra Sauce on it but hes not that far off the mark. Spain looks at Latin America ALOT worse than the UK looks at America, Canada, and Australia.
