Talk:Luke Pasqualino

Untitled
Someone added Luke Pasqualino is part Indian. You cannot claim something without a source. To the best of my research, he has never stated anything about being Indian. The closing thing I found was an article comparing him to Dev, and only on being a "breakout star". Everything else is based on speculation. Luke being dark does not make him Indian! I know this has been speculated by fans, Luke being part Asian and all, but it's completely speculation. Gogohive (talk) 20:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

There must be something, cause hes not white —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.242.202 (talk) 13:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

he's probably just of asian decent, a lot of people, like myself, are fully italian and quite dark.

He is of Italian heritage.

but hes not white! he cant JUST be of italian heritage he doesnt look white

So his not white, doesn't mean he can't be of Italian descent not every person with Italian heritage is white looking,There no evidence saying his of Asian descent either.

But italians are white, that was all i said. Italians arent a "coloured" race. I never said that he couldnt be of italian decent, but that there might be something else.

Italians can come in many shades not just white. I think until there is prove that he is of Asian descent it should be removed.

'''OMG some of you really need to get your head out of the gutter. Also get this nordicist idealogy out of your head. Europe is full of many different phenotypes. Not all Europeans look as pale as British people for christ sake. Luke is no different from a lot of other Southern Italians. Marco Borriello for example tans the exact same tone as he does. Not all Europeans or whites for the matter are Pink skinned. There is NOTHING Asian about him. And Indian? I want to ask have you ever seen an Indian in your life? he does not have an Indian phenotype at all. Furthermore, Americans need to get your obsession with the term "white" out of here. White for the most part was a term created by Anglo-Americans. Once upon a time not even the Irish were considered white in America. It was a term invented by Anglos for Anglos until it started entering mainstream media and group everyone under one blob. Well sorry to burst your bubble but thats not the way Europe works. An Italian doesn't magically feel culturally similar to a Russian just because of some stupid American term like white. Luke is ITALIAN, what does it matter if he's considered white or not by some stupid American term? Most Europeans HAVE a culture, they don't need to hang onto some false identity because they're so mixed up they don't even know what or who they are like the majority of American whites. I'm telling you, the term White was quite possibly the worst thing to ever enter Europe.''' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.78.160.202 (talk) 07:19, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

"He does not have an Indian phenotype at all?" That is you POV. I Have seen plenty of South Asians who look more European/"whiter" passing than he does, especially in Pakistan. I originally thought he was British South Asian when I saw him on that movie "Snowpiercer". That was until I found out his surname was Pasqualino. As for him being dubbed "non-white", WHO CARES? Many Southern Europeans are racially mixed. It is visible in their phenotype and in their DNA. This Sicilian DNA test shows 20% North African : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u8F3fSmV4w — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.231.168.110 (talk) 08:03, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

I don't really know who you're addressing (guy with comment below my previous comment)
All I said is people need to back things up with sources. I'm not into debating about "race" and the genes of Italian people. Whatever. It seems like you're replying to the people who left you comments on your talk page. Don't realize why you're writing it here.

So it is a general message. Was it you who wrote "He is part Indian"? Why write that as a fact? I removed it. You need sources to back it up. Gogohive (talk) 07:28, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Why is it considered a negative thing to suggest that someone is not completely and wholly Caucasian? Why do we need to back it up with sources when it is so obvious that this person has mixed heritage? We don't need sources. One only needs to use two things when considering this: one's eyes and one's ears. I am not going to make crass assumptions about someone's racial makeup but it is obvious that he is of mixed race. I feel that the text in the article is suggesting that he is wholly and purely of Italian descent, which is why I feel it i smisleading and should be removed until we can substantiate a little more fact. 90.215.190.9 (talk) 01:55, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

He IS of mixed race, You dont need sources, open your eyes!. The article is only saying he is JUST of italian decent. which he blatantly isnt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.248.54 (talk) 17:29, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless there is a source that backs up the claim that he is part Asian, then it does not belong in the article. Just because he looks mixed race to you is not good enough.  (Frankly he just looks Italian to me.)  ...  disco spinster   talk  18:23, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe this article will finally clear it up > http://www.ok.co.uk/food/view/8238/Luke-Pasqualino-and-Melissa-Walton/

If you read clearly it says of ITALIAN heritage nothing about Asian or Mixed race descent and heres another one just incase it still not enough http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/article2279168.ece I've changed it back because i think that article is enough prove to disprove this assumptions his asian or mixed race Allie (talk) 17:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Why has is of Italian descent been removed yet again, the article above is enough prove to quash the rumors.

"Luke, that’s a fabulous Italian surname you have… Yes, although I’m from Peterborough! My dad’s half of the family are all Sicilian, and on my mum’s side I’m Neapolitan, so it’s an interesting mix. I’ve been to Sicily once, and to Naples about five or six times. I’m really proud of my Italian heritage."

just incase the people who keep changing it didn't bother to read the interview. Allie (talk) 03:30, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

"Frankly he just looks Italian to me" ....Dont be silly. Besides he looks darker than that false italian *stereotype* because he doenst look white. He looks a tiny bit indian/asian too me and alot of people. Or someone who could be of an asian decent. Dont deny it cause he does a tad bit.


 * Just because you think he look Asian does not mean anything, if you have prove like a proper source instead of what you think then fine but you haven't just because you want him to be is not enough, there is no source or information that points to him being Indian or Asian he is Italian even his bloody name should be enough prove. I know who ever keeps changing it is gonna do it again, maybe it's best this should be locked. Allie (talk) 18:27, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * He doesn't look darker than many Italians I know, who are actual people and not stereotypes. Anyway, the article posted above by Allie pretty much seals the deal since he himself claims to be Southern Italian.  ...  disco spinster   talk  15:26, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I dont want him to be asian. He just looks it, not just cause of his skin but his face aswell. Im not the only one who thinks this. Everyone thought it. Dont get all touchy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.252.72 (talk) 17:51, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I can't believe some of you people. Just do a google image search for something like "Dark Sicilian Features" or "Dark Sicilian People" - you will see that not all Italian people are pale skinned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.45.99.209 (talk) 02:01, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

(Southern) Italian Heritage
Usually the folks that live in Southern Italy (Campania, Sicily, Calabria, Apulia, Sardinia) are darker, more tanned than other Italians. They have black hair, brown/hazel/green eyes and even oriental characteristics. It is not a mistery. Here an Italian guy from Piombino that looks like Luke Pasqualino http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v4558/112/72/1507520986/n1507520986_30338096_7733431.jpg About Luca Giuseppe Pasqualino, he comes from a family of (Southern) Italian heritage. Here the link: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/33225636.html --Karanko (talk) 23:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

luke's acting background
"He attended the drama classes held by Martin Tempest at Stamford Art Centre."

this was also held by mary benzies and is now ran under the name of 'SSYT' (stamford senior youth theatre) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nothingatall666 (talk • contribs) 00:05, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Is his DOB right or not? When he appeared on the Weakest Link in September, he said that he was 19, which would make his DOB 19/02/90 instead of 89, so he is 20 not 21? Can anyone elaborate on this? :D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.191.173 (talk) 22:09, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
