    My brother's wife literally immigrated to the US from Mexico as a young child.

    There are white people in Mexico

    Half the people at their wedding didn't speak any English.

    Speaking English doesn't have anything to do with race.

    My sister's best friend is half Korean

    What's the other half?

    My wife is 1/8th Blackfoot

    What's the other 7/8?

      No shit.

      Then why bring up their nationality in a conversation about race?

      no shit

      Then why bring up the language they speak in a conversation about race?

      I don't know.

      But you know the Korean half?

      None of your business?

      Lol is it white? You can say white, you know? If you can say Korean, Mexican, and Blackfoot, you can say European white. Your defensiveness is not very in-line with your assertion that you "really don't give a shit". Why are you so pissed if it doesn't matter?
