  2. Mac says:

    He looks pretty Punjabi, if u guys think he doesn’t look Indian probably because u see more tamil or southern indians or darker indians, he looks pretty punjabi to me or any northwest Indian ethnic group ! The furthest away from India he looks is maybe Pakistani, Iranian, or Arab, not Mexican and stuff really

    I’m not arguing with anyone, I just stated my honest opinion and other people disagreed with me, and took it to a whole new level. I still stand by my statement. He looks Mexican. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks that.

  4. STFU says:

    All of you are wrong. The man clearly looks Black.. *rolls eyes* (I’m being sarcastic, just in case some idiot thinks I’m serious)

    Now can you all just shut up about his race? How long can this argument go on?!

  5. I hate ignorant people. says:

    can you all stop arguing about his ethnicity? who cares if he looks mexican or doesn’t look mexican. all i care about is his sexiness and his gorgeous voice. his ethnicity is irrelevant to me.
