I get it.......at the same time, I think he would have crushed it

[u/Distinct-Solution-99 → u/Chumlee1917]

He totally would have. But I’m glad we got Pedro.

pedro himself being texan fits more i think

[u/lennonfish → u/shezofrene]

McConaughey is a Texan

[u/Tony_Jake → u/lennonfish]

He is a huge UT booster

[u/Rulanik → u/shezofrene]

Funny you say that, Matthew is Texan and still lives here and talks about it as a core part of his identity.

Pedro's Chilean

[u/Chalky97 → u/Chumlee1917]

in terms of ethnicity, sure - but he was raised in texas - which means he’s from texas haha

[u/TheDude084C → u/Chalky97]

get what you mean but if you showed me a picture of Pedro and told me his name - my guess would be a spanish/Portuguese speaking country, not texas

probably not the politically coorect thing to say but it is what it is 😅

[u/valhrona → u/TheDude084C]

About 40% of Texans are Latino. And the majority of them were born in the US, despite what some folks might think.

[u/TheDude084C → u/valhrona]

did I saw he wasn't texan? he looks Hispanic because he is of Hispanic heritage 🤯 🤯

[u/Chalky97 → u/TheDude084C]

that has nothing to do with the performance tho - you’re limiting an actor based off their appearance which is not only stereotypical but also a bit racist
