There are North Americans of white descent who have changed their names and who are actors. It has nothing to do with being ashamed of their racial background. But being that Charlie Sheen is part Spanish some people assume that he might be ashamed of his heritage. I don’t think that there is any race out there that does not have skeletons in their closet. I hate making this into a racial issue , but it gets tiring of having to defend against ignorance.

Aaaaaah poor americans, When will you learn?,hahahaha. Now seriously. Listen up. The word spanish is exclusive for everything about Spain except if we are talking about the language that we share with almost all the countries of LatinAmerica. If they say that Charlie Sheen is an spanish descendant it is obviously they are talking of Spain. You have a big problem with your language cos u use the word spanish for every country where spanish is the language but for everything and that’s why you are lost many times. In spanish each country has a unique word that refers to that country. U really should have it too. I hope it helped
