First off...I know, that deep down it doesn't matter....however their seems to be a current debate among GTA communities about this

many think Jason is a regular white american, but some think he is Hispanic i.e "white latino" like Cuban. Obviously we won't know untiL Rockstar makes something official, but does he look "white hispanic" to you?

 

[Sushi_Combo]

I dunno but he's hot .

 

[SJRB]

Seems pretty white to me.

Jason isn’t really a Hispanic name either, is it?

 

[shamoomoo]

Real Hispanics are Europeans and not the miscegenated Natives or African people in the Americas. I always get confused by this term but non-Hispanic white means European who aren't from Spain or Portugal.

 

[adamsapple]

That's a white boy.

 

[Danknugz]

they purposefully made it ambiguous

 

[Zelduh]

White hispanic is a thing

 

[Represent.]

white

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

He looks like Walker from Spec Ops The Line.

 

[intbal]

they purposefully made it ambiguous

Not with a name like "Jason".

 

[ReBurn]

Hispanic isn't a race. A person can both be white and hispanic.

 

[Mister Apoc]

Not with a name like "Jason".

its odd...in the trailer he looks more ambigious but the artwork makes him clearly a white dude it seems

 

[March Climber]

Hispanic isn't a race. A person can both be white and hispanic.

 

[angrod14]

Abraham Lincoln once said: "If you're a racist, I will attack you with the North". And those are the principles that I carry with me in the workplace.

 

[Zelduh]

Not with a name like "Jason".

There are a metric ton of latinos named Jason. Anyone who lives in Florida knows this

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

i am "white Hispanic" and it doesn't look like me....i dunno if i should be offended or to have an identity crisis.

Blue eyed = Caucasian

 

[Damigos]

Arent all hispanic white?

 

[Imtjnotu]

White hispanic is a thing

But Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans all range from white to brown and to black.

White Hispanics to us Hispanics is like Argentinians or Mexicans from Mexico city lol

 

[STARSBarry]

Seems pretty white to me.

[RamenGuy]

He def has a bit of Asian, probably Japanese..

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

Nahhh, he’d be considered white regardless if he had Hispanic in his blood or not……
He could be Italian, for those not aware there is a shit ton of Italian rednecks in central and southern Florida who’s families own massive tracks of land since the late 1800s.

Huh, just thinking on it. It could be a tie in with the Liberty city mafia and maybe I would bet that Jason could be one of Tommy’s bastard kids…

 

[March Climber]

Blue eyed = Caucasian

Some of you guys need to travel more lol.

 

[Zelduh]

Blue eyed = Caucasian

Caucasians can be hispanic and hispanic people can have blue eyes and blond hair

 

[Woggleman]

He looks like a white guy to me.

 

[Neilg]

White dad who had latin fever. There are a ton of dudes that look like him in Miami.

The city is such a melting pot of mixed races anyway, you get people from South America that don't speak Spanish and Europeans that do, and it's all too ambiguous to really point at anyone and guess where they are from. You're more likely to guess where their high school friends came from as a result.
He's the right character for the game, even if his lineage is never detailed.

 

[ReBurn]

Arent all hispanic white?

No. Hispanic means that your ancestry is from a country where Spanish is the primary language. People from Spanish speaking countries would be considered Hispanic, but not necessarily white. People with ancestors originating from Spain are likely to be white and Hispanic. People with ancestors originating from somewhere like Ecuador or Colombia or other Latin American countries are likely to be considered Latino and Hispanic.

 

[SmokedMeat]

He looks pretty tall so I’d say white.

 

[Kabelly]

From the leaks he seemed just like your standard american caucasian. Can't have two minorities as the leads or else people will cry.

 

[Mister Apoc]

There are a metric ton of latinos named Jason. Anyone who lives in Florida knows this

the leaks made him look like a redneck.... his recent character model has changed...but i feel like they would of already done alot of recording with the idea that looks like this (on the left) in mind

 

[shamoomoo]

He def has a bit of Asian, probably Japanese..

Probably Turkish or Armenian descent.

fair enough

your right that he is still "white" regardless

I should of worded the question better

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Looks kind of Slavic

 

[Woggleman]

Ned Luke alluded to him doing work in GTA VI. What if he is Michael's long lost son and we see a reunion?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Latino and black men aren't gonna settle with a Latino Boss Chick. That's clearly a beta white boy.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

No, your fine with what you said. I’m just going off the color of his skin.

 

[Nankatsu]

I can't unseen Jim Caviezel from Person of Interest when I look at GTA6 male protagonist.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Doesn't matter as I think he might be not that relevant in the story.

 

[Gaiff]

I thought he was meant to be a southern white guy? I assumed the old white lady in the trailer who said he dared to show his face or something along those lines was his mom or grandma.

 

[Majormaxxx]

To me he looks lighter than Tomi Vercetti, who was retroactively darkened in the remake, and darker than Michael.

But who cares.

 

[tommib]

Who cares. The man is hot as hell. What a strange title thread.

not really its just a question

Tommy was Italian

are their?

 

[Diddy X]

There are all kinds of white hispanic, tall, short, brunette, blonde, etc. I think Jason is supposed to be american white, maybe they should have made him more blonde but it seems those don't exist in videogames anymore.

 

[cash_longfellow]

White dad, Hispanic mom.

 

[Moses85]

Just gimme that game already!

 

[simpatico]

Classic Southwestern American hot dog race.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

I don't know, hispawhite maybe ?

Sorry.
