      He is not mexican.. He is both Mexican and Russian, and who knows if he is a permanent white boy.. i am permanently white from my dad being Mexican, but I am an American and other white ethnicities. My own race ever called me that I would get a nail and hammer and knog it in their hand and tell them. “I am not that!” ‘Cause it is very disrespectful. Nobody that is Irish-American likes being called English. I would not do anything else ’cause everybody deserves a spot in the world. Antonio Menchaca proved that in the 1800s he was not Mexican at all, but a Texan by having a Mexican killed for calling him Mexican.. Criollos, Texans, and other people mixed with a heritage don’t like that name, and would propably do the same if you kept edging it on.

    I also read somewhere he could be part Native American from his dad’s side?? But with his father being absent from his life, I guess we can only speculate. But I read it could be a possibility!!
