I hate infodumps and prefer it if the writer describes the characters little by little during the story. When it comes to race, I'd rather have them just state it instead of using ambigious terms.

Out of curiousity, how would you state a character's race organically and not in an info-dump or a potentially disastrous sort of "Hey is your friend Chinese or Korean?" way?

So long as big stuff comes first. I was several pages into an original short story and suddenly the guy is black and his date Latino and there'd been zero hints about that at all until we're waxing lyrical over the dark skin and short curled hair. Then again the author referred to the black male love interest as the protagonist's Best Friend, Friend, and Closest Friend ad nauseum so not the best example. I get friends to lovers being complicated but jeez!
