He has a very unusual look. I wonder what his ethnic background is. Anybody know?

Actually, he isn't Jewish. I happen to know that for a fact, but had you done some research, even an ignorant failure in life like you, would have known that. Maybe I shouldn't call you a failure. You might be one of the best greeters that Walmart has on their payroll.

So what is his ethnicity? I am just curious because he looks Hispanic to me. Consider this question as 'research'.

He has eastern European features. I don't think he looks Hispanic in the least, he's too big and pale skinned. The surname is British. He's probably a typical white American, a mix of European ethnicities.

'hispanic' is also not a race. you can't 'look hispanic'.

Hispanic, or Latin American is indeed a race. Its very broad, and probably poorly defined, but it is considered a race. Just about any census or information questionnaire lists it under race.

Hispanic/Latin American, loosely defined is a mestizo race. It refers to New World/Western Hemisphere people who are a mix of Indigenous heritage and Spanish Heritage, OR those with African (slave) heritage mixed with Spanish/Portuguese heritage and sometimes Indigenous heritage.

Its essentially a race created by the Spanish and Portuguese conquest of the New World. It is very broad and loosely defined, and you are right, there is no one Hispanic/Latin American look. It can vary from Mexican-Americans of the American Southwest to Black Cubans. The surnames are all very much the same.

no, sorry, 'hispanic' is not a race. the census in the US even specifically distinguishes between white (hispanic) and black (hispanic). there are 'hispanic' people who are black, hispanic people who are brown, and hispanic people who are white. would you say that sammy sosa and like, alexis bledel are the same race? because both are of 'hispanic' descent.
