I actually wondered about that, because in the movie it looks like the whole thing takes place in Mexico, or at least the US westcoast. Typical wild-west environment. Perhaps it doesn't have anything to do with the original book.

Anyways.. one of my favorite hispanic characters. Vasquez in Aliens 2:






Edit: Arminfrench did you edit that pic of Vasquez in? Or did you post it before me? lol, I honestly didn't see it until after I posted mine. I came to think of Vasquez because of the pic from the OP that reminded me of the latino military chick in Avatar. Oh well nvm :P

Isnt he a mix of Zorro and that Charles Perrault fairy tale character? Either way im sure Americans see him as a Hispanic/Latino character, or atleast I do.

He is from a fictional country in the carribean, comparable to Cuba or Puerto Rico, plus he always has an accent so yeah he can technically be labeled as Hispanic.
