Mexicans, which is what Diego is, are mostly caucasians. They come in all shades thanks to their genes. Lila’s genes on the other hand, would’ve made a white kid hard, but definitely not impossible.

Diego is just so ready to be emotionally invested in people all the time, but keeps getting hurt, so he tries to be aloof. He's not educated on how to be a good partner or father, but his heart is in the right place. He doesn't want to be as cold as their 'father'.

stan carried the show this season. no cap. he is a legend and we love dad diego

[@cloudwinchester0903]

That little moment of the three of them in the Buffalo Suite is one of my favourite moments this whole season, it's so wholesome and we can see that Lila really does want to have a family with Diego

[@s1_l.y787]

This is a weird theory that I came up with, and that is that Allison changed things in her new timeline where Clare is Ray's daughter, so I came to think that since she knows what happened to Stan and also has a kid, he also put in the deal that Stan was Diego's son, sounds crazy but not illogical.

Remember when Diego found out Stanley is not their son his first thought was that he was adopted and just accepted it. Why would Lila adopt a child and call Diego the dad?

[@logolessscenpacks5328]

I find it so funny that Diego didn’t think about the fact that he and Lila’s kid did not match their ethnicities at all. Like, you’re Mexican, your girl is Middle Eastern, and you ended up with someone who’s white and Puerto Rican. But he had a lot of love to give so he just didn’t question it

[@arcanewarrior863]

Honestly, this was actually a wholesome vibe, them making Stanley not his real kid and then having him Kugelblitzed, which Diego didn't seem to give a shit about after growing attached to him, was a really terrible writing decision I honestly think Stan was written to be his son and they changed their mind with the script halfway

[@Unhappytimeaper]

Tbh there was a lot of issues I found right this season but honestly this who arc and how it ended between Lila/Diego kinda pisses me off. Like it was actually really nice to see the development Diego was having with the introduction of a kid and how upset he was when he first disappeared, only to be blipped and Diego practically moving on right away with no issues for the fact of what Lila did? And the rest of the season things are all swell between them completely forgetting about Stanley their child or not. Really shitty character choices and plot for Diego this season, it felt like they didn’t know what to do with him or Lila so they have half a concept but it doesn’t get them anywhere so they had to drop it half way through for the conclusion they needed.

[@babytoshiro7014]

Yeah I didn't understand the point of it and no one gave a shit the kid was killed? I guess that's why I never felt any attachment to these characters, except Luthor S1 and being honest, he still the only character I can actually stand(Klaus occasionally). Not sure why writers continue writing characters like pricks and expect the audience to stick around?

[@Unhappytimeaper]

@@babytoshiro7014 I can sorta understand the others not caring, even to an extent Lila because she seems like someone who really wouldn’t care about others/how her actions effect others, but after everything we’ve had established about Diego it feels very off character for him to not care and just go back to googly eyes for Lila. My biggest giving is I felt I understood most characters and their actions based on established info & arcs. I didn’t always like them but I understood their logic for why they did what they did. Season 3 while I can sort of place some understanding to things half of the time their actions don’t feel reflective of what we know of them. Or even worse we really don’t get a reasoning for half of their actions. For what reason? We need certain events to happen? It’s really just disappointing for a show founded on its characters to really fuck up half of what people liked about them this season for choices that don’t seem reflective of who they are.

[@kira-zk6op]

@@Unhappytimeaper Diego moved on from it because he was worried about the world ending and he learned he's having an actual child of his own with Lila, makes sense, Stanley isn't forgotten either, he's mentioned twice towards the end of the season.
