"I find it pretty incredible that people would look at me and not be sure I'm Asian, but my background is different than the people who ask me that question."

That's what I'm saying, and for an author to have put so many people asking whether he's different things in the book, it must mean that he doesn't look obviously like one race or another. Unless the author is gathering up incredible people with incredible backgrounds, all of whom cannot recognize varying races when they see them.

If it were one person asking, I could buy what you say here. Since it's multiple people asking him whether he's different things - Native, gypsy, black, others, it's not reasonable to assume all of them simply can't at all recognize the race they're asking about. That's too much coincidence, from a writing perspective.

I'm not sure I'm getting my point across very well. My point is that I look absolutely, 100% Chinese, and people still question my race. That's why I don't find it impossible to think that perhaps Shadow might look unambiguously black, but people still question his race. In my situation, the reason for why people question my race doesn't lie with my appearance, it's more to do with their ignorance or lack of exposure to POCs, or the fact that they're simply not 100% certain. As for getting the same question from multiple people... well, that's happened to me. So again, I can't say that's impossible or even improbable. I encounter plenty of people who aren't very good at identifying what race I am from my appearance, even though I think I'm pretty unambiguously Chinese.
