Brenda called him a gringo in the last episode when he threatened her crew at the motel. Did Theresa tell her he was a gringo or did she just call him that because of the absence of an accent?
Probably the latter.
I wish we knew more about his background. How he got involved 'in the business'
Don't f@ck with me fellas! This aint my first time at the rodeo.

Good question. Brenda called him a gringo in the last episode when he threatened her crew at the motel. Did Theresa tell her he was a gringo or did she just call him that because of the absence of an accent?

James Franco? I can see that too.
He reminds me of Gael Garcia Bernal.
My fianc thought it was him, until I told him it wasn't.

I don't see Gael Garcia Bernal but he looks a lot like James Franco to me.

I meant Texas.
I had California on my mind that day.

Hispanics come in all shades. Take a look at some of those baseball players from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic who have a lot of African ancestry.
I remember an affirmative action lawsuit in San Francisco from years ago. A man who had emigrated from Spain applied for an affirmative action program. The Hispanics screamed that being from Spain meant he was European, ergo, white.
Of course, Spain is just across the straits from Africa and for centuries has had invasions of Moors and others from North Africa.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

He has an accent that doesn't sound native of California.
I'm curious about this because this show takes place and is filmed in Texas, so I don't get the California connection unless I missed something. Plus, the actor is British.

It doesn't concern me. My fianc is Hispanic. Calm down.
I was puzzled by the how the police described him.

Hispanics are considered "white". Why does this concern you?
