Zorro has long been played by white actors, he's a nobleman of Spanish ancestry, not a New World native. And Hopkins was cast centrally for the role of old Zorro.

Well whatever, a Spanish person then.

Zorro's supposed to be a white Mediterranean person. Mestizos were the peasants and surfs not the landlords.
