Backstory: Rodriquez "Rocky" Smith was born in the United States to a well off, all-American family, but his mom, who became close friends with Spanish locals, decided to give him a Spanish name. While the name “Rodriquez” made him stand out, it led to some embarrassing moments, especially when people mistook him for being Spanish or Mexican.
