Rating Newest Oldest. 1  Matthew Espinosa Ethnicity. 2  Matthew Lee Espinosa is Columbian/white his dad Rafael is from columbia and his mom is from the U.S. he recently pronounced it on a podcast he did the day before his movie Be Somebody came out. 3  Race and ethnicity are not the same thing. His last name is Spanish(which a European surname) and he looks white so I'm assuming he's white. His ethnicity is probably hispanic though. Remember hispanic isn't a race, it's a cultural heritage. So probably a white hispanic. ==== Â· 3 years ago.
