thanks for actual helping instead of being a jerk like the above anon
being deliberately ambiguous about the canon as it's obscure and I don't want to be outed, also nobody would know wtf it was anyway
he lives in the NYC area, he was born in the US (for the sake of simplicity I'm also going with NYC, though they don't say where he grew up), he makes a moderately good amount of money, he went through several years of grad school, we don't know much about his parents but it's heavily implied several times that they were probably poor immigrants and probably illegal immigrants
given that he doesn't do that in canon you're probably right and I was being dumb x_X I imagine he likely spoke spanish to his parents (they're dead now) and his siblings, but probably doesn't use it every day unless he has to, particularly since he's had several years of grad school and there's some implication that he's taken deliberate pains to distance himself from his own culture (esp because he had a bad falling out with his father due to taking a less-than-ideal career path) (like he makes enough to live on but he's not a doctor or a lawyer basically, unlike his siblings)
