  • First off that page is literally titled "About the Topic of Race", clearly not ethnicity.

    Yes it is.

    You're describing your friends genetics or ancestry being different to their ethnicity or culture. Asian or White are not ethnicities.

    An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of people that perceives themselves to be different from other groups based on shared attributes. These attributes include having a common language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment.[1][2] The term ethnicity is sometimes used interchangeably with the term nation, particularly in cases of ethnic nationalism. It is also used interchangeably with race.[3]
