I guess it depends on one's meaning of "obvious". Nowhere does the book come out and say "Shadow is a mixed race man" or "Shadow's not white". It just gives you all the information that points to Shadow not looking white, with additional information that suggests his mother is black or also mixed race.
It's kind of like describing a small furry animal that has pointy ears and a tail and purrs and enjoys tuna and naps in sunny spots and having people go, "BUT IT'S NOT OBVIOUS THAT IT'S A CAT."
