He does not look Asian, which does not mean that English is his first language. I would say that he is a mix of a Caucasian and a Latino. This is both based on the look and the name. But given the employment record, he must have been here long enough to say that coming from him the line about the dress is sleazy - as in ykwim, yes. Meaning - he should have known better.
