Tbf, though, a lot of people look a certain ethnicity who are only half and just have the looks of one parent

However, that was a cop out figured out by the writers long after they screwed up to cover their mistake.
Please, how many Mexican immigrants change their last names? It just doesn't happen.

That's true.
Also A.C. Slater wasn't supposed to be Mexican necessarily just because the actor was. It was never referenced or mentioned until much later.
The name explanation was a decent ret-con.

Yeah, first I thought it was a racist cover up. Lol. But then it hit me that the character was created first and many actors of different ethnic groups probably auditioned for the role.
Duh, I do apologize for the assumption. It was completely innocent on the studio's part.

I think it's funny you dont think Hispanics cant have American names. A cousin of mine named her daughter Nicole, I was like wtf so did another Cousin, named him Brandon, Again wtf. IF you look at the list of registry names you'd be very very surprised.
yea, he's name was Albert Clifford Slator but he could've easily been born in American with An American father or several generations. He did go to an almost all white rich kids school and he sort of was himself. He wasnt all that his Hispanic or Mexican in the show and he was into white girls. So it all made sense. Lisa wasnt all that black. Belding wasnt that abusive, school wasnt that hard, girls werent that uptight, there was no gangs or violence. It was a kids show.
