I agree with you that Luke can't be Reyes (too pale, not latino), but I def. don't see him as white (maybe it's just a french pov, since my friends see him as POC too. and maybe this person has a similar pov)
Yeah, Luke’s definitely not pasty like me lol. He’s a (darker skinned) white British-Italian dude, with Sicilian and Neapolitan heritage that he’s proud of.
The thing with the post I was referencing was that some of the people who wanted to fancast Luke as Reyes were the people arguing that Reyes “might not be Latino” and “could be caucasian,” before we got confirmation from his writer - and that a lot of the people who object to Luke as Reyes do so because Luke isn’t a Latino actor and certainly not because they want to fancast a dude with a lighter skin tone instead!
