Minnesota is very Teutonic, mostly German and Swedish. Back a hundred years ago, the Finns living up in the Iron Range were considered colored. Southern Europeans were also considered colored in much of the United States.
Koreans and Japanese are so genetically similar that they're difficult to differentiate from DNA. People who identify as Hispanic or Latino have a mixture of indigenous, European, and African blood.
Race is mostly a social construct. We're the same species. We don't even have sub-species. The boundaries are complete fuzz. They don't even collect data about race and ethnicity in most of the world outside the United States. I hope we get over it within my lifetime.
