An LA radio station's morning personality had billboards that said, "El
Cucuy es raza" meaning "Cucuy (the guy's nickname) is one of the common
people."

The PR billboards might say that the bogeyman is one of the commoners,
but his morning jock salary belies that.

As a second follow up, more seriously: he came to the US illegally. He
worked as a cement and mortar carrier in construction in Fresno. Moving to
LA, he continued to work construction, and became an unpaid sidekick to a
morning show on KTNQ in LA, contributing character voices of central
Americans (he is Hondureño). He was finally hired by José Liberman of KWIZ
in the 80's, and Liberman paid to do the legalization of his residency. It
took him over 20 years to get where he is now, working free for the first 4
or 5.

Whether he has money now, he is definitely of the people. On the other hand,
trying to pretend that a Honduran is "raza" failed, even with a $1 million
dollar ad campaign. Ten words out of his mouth, and it is obvious he is not
and can not be raza.
