I'm the anon who replied to OP right below you, and that's how I felt too. Shadow's personality was so bland that his race made no impression on me whatsoever. If you told me he was supposed to be black, ok. Asian, ok. White? Ok.

If someone asked me, I'd have guessed white but only because the author is white too and I'd assume a white guy would write a white guy, and not because of "Shadow" the character at all. But then I generally don't bothers to imagine book characters' physical features unless they make a difference, which they didn't.

This. I actually didn't assume any "race" for Shadow because "race" isn't a term I think in. I think that was the whole point of the character and the descriptions: Shadow is set up as trying to be as forgettable as possible. People have a trouble defining him. The thing with the guard? I always thought that was in the book not to explicitely state "he is not white" but to further imply that you can't really pin Shadow down in terms of race, character and motivation. Even after I heard about the race wank, I thought that was the whole point, not being able to tell his race and that he could have parts of just about everything.
