And for Cathty, what do you mean by Mexican ewwww? Is there something wrong with being Mexican??? Taylor in fact does have Hispanic features so it’s obvious that people would assume that about him. To me I just figured he was either Latino or Native American, he doesn’t look Caucasian at all. His skin color, his nose, his eyes, and dark hair, he doesn’t have an any Caucasian features so I don’t understand why anyone would think he was anyway. If he feels the need to say that then that’s on him, maybe he doesn’t know or maybe his parents lied to him, but it’s clear just by looking at him that he’s definitely not Caucasian.

I never questioned his ethnicity, he looks full blooded Native American to me, and it’s beautiful so I don’t see what the problem would be for him to admit that. But I forgot, they couldn’t market him to the lilly white chicks who’s parent would get offended by their daughter swooning over a non-white sex symbol.. So of course his publicist has him lie and say he’s part French, Dutch and whatever just to satisfy the white public. And yes I am white myself so I know what whites are thinking.

Well said Tiffany!! His race has 0 to do with who he is a person. So what if you found out he was Mexican or Puerto Rican or Black or Native American, is that going to make you like him less, is that going to diminsh his talent because he’s not the race that you wanted him to be. It’s truly, pathetically sad that we can’t just say hey Taylor’s hot and I like him without wondering who he identifies with. No matter what color we all bleed red and we all have to stand before God one day to be judged!!!

Wow, it’s really sad that this is a topic of discussion. His ethnicity has absolutley nothing to do with the fact that he’s a good actor in a popular movie. I don’t care if he’s Mexican, Native American, White, or Asian…..he’s a cute guy and he is a decent actor. I just wish for once we could get over this non sense about who’s what and what race they are, it’s 2010 for God’s Sake….GET OVER IT!! I swear I get so sick of all of this race talk. No wonder America can never progress.
