Did Stallone as Rambo looked mestizo/half-breed to you?

[TheForeigner]

The character John Rambo from the book and film series Rambo is said to be of German and Navajo American Indian ancestry, despite Rambo being apparently a Swedish surname. Even so, do you really think Stallone as Rambo looked mestizo? And why did they make the character a half-breed/mestizo,instead of for say Caucasian of Italian and Swedish ancestry which would have fit better Stalone's swarthy/tanned Italian looks and Rambo's Swedish surname.

No, he looks full euro.

Didn't you root for American Rocky?

[Dick]

No he looks Italian like Glenn Danzig (Anzalone) from the Misfits, who is Italian American from Jersey. Can even pass as a crypto jew similar to Bruce Springsteen or Henry Winkler (the "Fonz") but then again European jews have a lot of dna from Italian converts during the Roman period.

He also gives Bon Jovi vibes.

The movie was obviously fantasy or whatnot , since in real life, Dolph Lundgren would have utterly destroyed Sylvester Stallone it is not like Stallone had newish Royce Gracie technique at the time or something.

Because in the american imaginary, half-breeds are tough nuts to crack. Dirk Peters comes to mind.

Who was Dirk Peters. Can't find him on wikipedia. That Asian chick on your signature is really smoking hot and I am not even usually much interested in Asian chicks.

Never read The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket? It's a classic.

Nope, but sounds familiar. Is it by H.P. Lovecraft, a horror short story?
