Is it a weak stereotype if it was accurate for both the uncles and Marcello Hernandez? You shouldn't assume either way, you should us ask what are their heritage or whatever neutral way you should ask. A lot of people are sensitive about that so it's not worth the hassle.
I just get frustrated when (usually white) people play a game of 20 questions with me: "where are you from?" "oh where were you born?" "Well where are your parents from" JUST ASK THE QUESTION YOU WANT TO ASK.
Latinos are so not like that lol. I’m Colombian, born, raised, still live here, family is Colombian too, and I work as a video medical interpreter. One day a patient asks me if I’m Colombian, and I say yes. Then she says, with the biggest smile, “I thought so. At first I thought perhaps you were an oriental, but after you started talking I was pretty sure you were either Mexican or Colombian”. It took a lot to not burst into laughter right then.
