What is the relevancy of his ethnicity  His mixture of ethnicitys is very American common bringing in the curious everyman theme that is so quintessentially American  This has intrigue for readers who just as the experts are trying to puzzle out just what drove this person to do what he did  Astute readers are going to want to sift every clue available to them as their desire to correctly understand his motives his personality drives their efforts  To simply gloss over and erase out information to make him appear ethnically neutral would be both dishonest and a disservice to readers putting in some real effort to understand him Trying to understand a serial killer and the social fabric they navigate through is complex as it gets and any clues are appreciated     Is it relevant to mention he was of Italian and Filipino descent  He was born in California which makes him American  His looks were such that he tended to blend in everywhere and anywhere so yes it is relevant   However feel free to move that information deeper into the article   I dont understand how readers are supposed to draw the conclusion that being of Italian Filipino descent makes it easier to blend in  The way the information is presented seems to form an impression that his ethnicity had something to do with his criminal actions  My conclusion is that it is irrelevant and should be deleted  No it made it easier for him to blend in in Miami   The following section Since he was of mixed race his mother was white and his father Filipino he blended in well in the diverse Miami Beach scene all looks to me like original research  Are there any references to support that this is a published conclusion    Just to clarify I dont mean the part about his parents ethnicity in and of itself that is documented Im referring to the idea that it had some special advantage which helped him fit in  From my readings on this subject his ability to fit into the Miami scene was due to his gay lifestyle more than any other factor
