How is that relevant to his Asian heritage being erased from the show?

It's not. I was an American history major with a focus on multicultural societies in the 19th and 20th centuries, so your(?) misguided, albeit factually accurate, comment about his being 50% white caught my attention.

P.S. How does the percentage of black Buddhist monks have any bearing on how American society in general ascribes whiteness or non-whiteness to mixed-race people?

(And since I think this conversation has reached a dead end, I'll just close by saying that you ought to read about the system of classifying mixed-race people of African descent in the Americas as quadroons, octoroons, etc. for another example of a historical precedent underlying modern-day Americans' conceptualizations of race.)

We're not talking about society, we're talking about a fictional character who had his Asian heritage removed
