Goes by Julio, real name Quintorris Lopez Jones.

Dad part Latino? Just liked the name?

His legal name has Lopez. That seems like a Spanish surname.

Name notwithstanding, I'm pretty sure he's black. He does kind of look like a Mayan warrior tho

Yea how dare different cultures have names different from standard white names

Because African and African-American culture are the same, right?

Congrats moron.

So what you're saying is that these "African-American" names actually have no roots?...they're just sounds that are attractive to African-Americans?

Because he did not want to be confused with Julio Iglesias.

You won't go into many homes of black doctors, engineers, etc., and find that they give their children such names.

It's as much of a class issue as it is race.

I agree to an extent. Here in Atlanta, with a huge AA population there will be some.

But judging people by their name is kind of a douche thing to do.
