From TV Tropes:

A reoccurring element throughout the film is Tony being treated like crap for being a poor migrant on account of being fresh off the boat - it's what motivates him to move into crime. Later, he meets drug kingpin Sosa, an upper-class, white Bolivian snob who speaks English and hob-nobs with other elites and treats Tony like a guard dog - a useful, loyal tool. Upper-class non-mestizo in Latin America are stereotyped to be backstabbing elitist asshats. Sure enough, when Tony is facing prison, Sosa forces Tony into an unwinnable situation that either forces him to commit a heinous deed against his morals for a crime he'll likely go to jail for anyway, or betray him.

All I’ll say is what do we know about most Cubans that currently reside in south Florida... you can figure it out from there

 

[Sadbrownsfan]

Well he pretty had every negative character trait so probably

But all the reasons why white Cubans are so and their reasons for moving to Florida probably don’t apply. Probably escaping a few murder charges and having so many enemies he was dead to rights. Without a mansion and mountain of coke to keep his mind off it.

"Tony" and "Gina" are both Italian cacs in real life, so they would have tan/olive skin complexion. But since we're talking about their character bloodlines, they would be no less than 70% white.

Georgina Montana, have Taino in her. (She was a Rican in real life)

Apparently, an unauthorized novel explained that Tony's maternal grandparents were from the Canary Islands

All I know is that in the detention camp the way they was playing ball like 40 on 40 was def a realistic portrayal of Hispanics hooping

 

[King Poetic]

He was a idiot going back to his crib after killing sosa homie

And chi chi and Ernie dumb asses sticking with this fool after that fail assassination attempt

They knew sosa was going to bring 50 nikkas to the crib and it’s only like 5 of u nikkas watching the pad

Cocaine is a helluva drug

 

[Mensch Fontana]

Black people weren't directly apart of the movie but I wondered what Tony would've thought of his afro-brehito brethren

Do I think a white man named Anthony Montana was a racist?
