"He looked totally Latino," says Martina Guzman, a Detroiter who's managing a State House election campaign.
"And his kid," says Wayne State history professor Jose Cuello, referring to the young Boba Fett, "looked even more Latino."

Temuera Morrison, the actor who plays Jango, is a New Zealander of Maori descent.
So who's stereotyping who??

Yeah, I just saw him on the Independant film channel in some Kiwi movie. He's a good actor and why anyone would confuse him for latin with his new zealander accent which was clearly audible in the movie is beyond me.
