I've not read the book, so take my comment with a grain of salt, but OP does have a point that someone who is at least a little bit white passing would have someone making comments about whether they were mixed, where as someone who's colouring is less white passing and more 'definitely other' would just be assumed to be 'other'.

On the other hand, if there was a mixed-raced character named SHADOW of all things, I would presume (maybe incorrectly) that he had dark skin.

OP here, and Shadow does have dark skin. It's described as 'cream-and-coffee skin' in the book. The in world reasoning for the name though, is because when he was a small bookish kid with no friends he'd shadow adults around everywhere and is kind of creepily silent and hard to notice, even as an adult.

DA

Cream and coffee is ambiguous enough to be native, latin, tan white, mixed black... which is why Shadow also got asked if he was part Native or "gypsy" at one point IIRC. I just can't imagine anybody asking that of a guy who looks and is black.
