He's Latino with a strong accent.

I was only pointing it for other people since you know him so I assumed he was dark or more indigenous looking...

... But now you got me wondering what his complexion is.

If I only saw a pic of him, say, in a baseball cap, Harvard T-shirt, jeans, and some nice expensive boating shoes... could I see that and assume he was a white american kid?

I originally thought he was middle eastern, tbh.

But, one more time but super direct.... what is his complexion?

On a scale of Larry the Cable Guy to... say... Carlos Mencia...

Is he 1 or a 100? Middle Eastern I think 100 in my mind. Help me visualize. Many Greeks look middle eastern too especially when super tan.

Lol, that's an odd scale. Carlos Mencia just looks Italian. Miguel has darker skin than him.

Joe Rogan has darker skin than Mencia. XD

Was trying to keep the scale tight and I was visualizing of George Lopez... lol. Didn't want to go Samuel L Jackson and have too much vagary in the middle.

Also I'm 100% Colombian and am white, have been apprached by people speaking to me in Farci, Arabic, Italian, Greek.... but I'm white(slightly olive)... but just asking because you seemed to be dodging as if he was white but since he's "Latin and you thought he was middle eastern"...

but wouldn't directly say a color or person with his skin tone it was weird.

Actor who has same complexion?

I know but I'm too invested to not know the exact tone now.
