Pocho Ocho Latinos who confuse white peeps (we all look the same!)

by María Purísima on February 28, 2013 in Cultura, Pocho Ocho

People are often confused by different Latinos — it’s hard to tell us apart if we all look the same, right?

Here’s a quick roundup of the top eight folks who get mistaken for each other. Let us know if we missed any in the comments!

8. Pocho superstars Gustavo Arellano and Lalo Alcaraz

7. Pitbull the dog and Pitbull the singer

6. Airplane buddies Edward James Olmos and Jan Brewer

5. Chicano icons Ché Guevara and César Chávez

4. Dying diplomats Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro

3. Twins, but actually two separate people, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro and Texas Congressman Joaquín Castro

2. Oscar-fueled superstars Ben Affleck and Tony Mendez

And the numero uno pair of Latinos who people always confused is…

Adored and iconic abuelita faves Walter Mercado and Juan Gabriel.

Now for white people who look the same to Latinos… That would be a good list! ;-)
