Ricardo Hurtado is an American actor. He has starred on the shows School of Rock, Malibu Rescue: The Series, and Country Comfort, and appeared in the film Along for the Ride. He has also had voice roles in the animated movie Ron’s Gone Wrong and on the shows Middle School Moguls and Glitch Techs.
Ricardo is the son of Ofelia and Ricardo Hurtado, a musician. He was raised in Atlanta, Georgia.
He has said:
There’s a stereotype about how Hispanics look, and I guess I don’t look Hispanic. I don’t know. It’s really cool to have a background like that. My parents are both from Nicaragua. They both grew up there, then they moved to the States. They’re immigrants, both of them.
A picture of Ricardo with his parents can be seen here.
“When I was a little younger, people I met sometimes wouldn’t know right away that I was half Chinese [my mom is from Hokkien]. So they would feel free to insult Chinese people or use slurs right to my face. And I would be like, “HEY! Don’t you belittle my people, you son of a b—!,” and I would thwack them on the side of the head a couple of times. I’m glad that, at least in my own little corner, I made the world a more accepting place for Asians.”

You’re on a roll!
96% European, 4% Indigenous American. Just a random guess lol his parents are both clearly white but his mom gives off some small touch of Native Central American or something
I knew he was Hispanic from his surname. However, I assumed he was Cuban since he was born in Florida and many Cubans have full Spanish or European ancestry due to many Spaniards that migrated to Cuba in the early 20th century. Knowing that’s he’s Nicaraguan is somewhat of a surprise since many Central American countries are predominantly Mestizo with signifcant Black, Indigenous, and even Chinese communities. It just shows how diverse Latin America really is.
His mother Twitter profile is this:

I assume ‘Hu’ may be her Chinese maternal grandfather surname then.
If so Ricardo is at least 1/8 Chinese.
Wow.

Hu…rtado
You can’t even walk into a 7-11 in Miami these days unless you have a slight Chinese accent.
Sounds like a slightly tweaked quote of my favorite President. Any Follers please confirm my submissions. You’re a good friend. Please confirm
*From my favorite president. *Anyway, Follers.
sorry for all the grammatical errors
Looks like a massive fail by me but…:
_ In Spanish name customs the second last name is the maternal one. A woman who uses her husband’s last name as her second…never heard that.
_ In this case Twitter allows only 15 characters for the username, so Ofelia Ramirez Hu is the limit.

Case closed.
This guy has no known Chinese ancestry.
“I’m Latino and Chinese. My mom is Chinese and my dad is from Nicaragua, or Honduras, somewhere brown. It’s far.
A lot of people are shocked when I tell them my background. They go “WHUT,” “NO WAY,” and, “sense when,” and they laugh at me. It can be hurtful. And it’s sometimes hard for me to get the roles I want. But I’m telling you, man, if they ever tasted my mother’s dumplings they’d never say that again.”

Best reply ever.
I thought you were joking about the magazine but it exists.
Oddly we dont know anything about his background considering Latin American actors in Hollywood are usually from wealthy families, so technically he still may have a Mandarin-speaking ancestor.
He looks like your average blonde white boy from Cali.I would have never guessed that.
