The bald punk calls her a sexy senorita, so I think the character is supposed to be hispanic or latino, so it's the Jeremy Sisto character that is a little odd casting. That being said, casting J-lo is always odd.

Oh, dear.
The theory of genetics that Mendel discovered and which is always taught in high school biology completely concerns a genetic trait (short and tall, concerning beans) governed by a single gene pair.
Human skin, eye, and hair colour are each governed by multiple gene pairs. That's why there is such a variety of shades in the range of colour of those features. Thus, if both your parents have blue eyes, but you happen to get from them all their darkest genes for eyes, your eyes can end up a lot darker than your blue-eyed parents' eyes. This would be unusual but it's not impossible. -

Dude, Hispanic or latino is not a different race. Some Hispanics are plain white and others are mixed. It's not uncommon for some siblings to look more white or be darker than others. Try to get some knowldge under your belt.

Latino is a diffrent race. some people say that latinos are just white people that speak spanish and thats not true. I have latino in me (im part puerto rican) and i do not consider that part of me white.

It's really an American thing to care too much about those things, who cares what they are in real life, they're actors , they're playing a part she doesn't have to be a latino in all her movies she can pass for many other nationality.

Very true. Race seems to be a big topic in America and i don't think thats necessary. Who cares about ur race/backgroud everyone should be treated the same no matter where your from. sounds soo sappy i know, but its the truth.
oh and p.s> im not america, i'm canadian =] -

I'm gonna have to burst your bubble again, Hispanic is interchangeable with Latino. Neither refer to a race, just to people who speak Spanish or who identify themselves with that culture in some way.
Hispania was the ancient Roman name for Spain, the word and concept derives from that, that's all.
But wait, there's some good news; if you're part Puerto Rican then you've probably got some African and/or Taino as well as European, so that was luckyyou're not totally white.but you are a lil bit white. You white, ohhh you know you white. You whiiiite. -

Holy cow. Try educating yourself. Neither Latino nor Hispanic is a race. They are umbrella ethnic identities that include people who are white, people of African descent, indigenous peoples of the Americas, and various combinations of any or all of them. Even look at the U.S. censusit allows for white Hispanics and non-white Hispanics.

My best friend comes from an Italian mother and an Irish father. She's very tan, brown eyes, brown hair, everything about her is Italian. Her older brother is pale, freckled, red hair, and green eyes, like their dad.
It's really a mixed bag as to who you end up looking like.

I thought Sharon and Larry didn't look a lot alike, but looking at the dad I can understand why Larry looked' different'. The father could almost pass for white, he likely had some white in him.
And I agree with the poster that said siblings often don't resemble each other. My brother and I look nothing alike.

Again, Latino isn't a RACE. It just means people who originated from the 'latin' world. Which, back in the days of colonial imperialism when the New World was being eradicated of natives and populated by european settlers, was Spain, Portugal and to a lesser extent Italy.
I wish I could think of something witty to put here but I can't.
