In Slater's War, it's revealed that his last name is actually Sanchez and that his father had changed it to Slater in order to join the army and Slater says that he had never known until then. But, wouldn't he have found that out in the high school ep "Running Zack" when he was doing his family tree project? I mean, he found out that one of his ancestors was a bullfighter and I can't really see his dad changing the name on all the stuff that he owned, even if he DID legally change it to join the army.

Also, when he is taking Alex to meet his family for Thanksgiving he says ''And remember when you meet grandma Maria you're Mexican'' so all of his life it never came up from grandma Maria...just one of the many inconsistencies lol

Yeah, it doesn't make sense that he only just discovered his ethnic identity in college, but I think the process of him wanting to fully embrace it at that age was actually done pretty realistic in a very unrealistic show sense.

In many of the high school episodes he can be seen wearing an Italian Horn necklace, implying he was Italian

How did he not figure it out when he looked in the mirror?

Also in the high school episodes with his dad... his dad certainly does not look like a "Sanchez"... maybe his mother was Mexican?

In the beginning of the high school episodes, he was supposed to be Italian.

Peter Engel said that the characters of Lisa & Slater were supposed to be Jewish & Italian, but since they liked both Lark & Mario so much, they changed them to suit those 2. So Slater was supposed to be Mexican.

That doesn't really make sense since Lark/Lisa was an original cast member from Good Morning Miss Bliss which was later recreated as Saved by the Bell.

Lisa was black from the start unless they were planning to drop her.

Huh? I don't see how Gerald Castillo, who played Slater's dad, didn't look like a "Sanchez".

I don't know anything about the US army, but are you telling me Slater Snr. couldn't have joined with the last name Sanchez?
