There's only so far one can really go with people who are committed to disregarding/ignoring the nuances of racism and try to justify it with literal word-logic (I'm not saying you're prejudiced by any means but this evidently isn't a thing you have much experience of, whether directly or as a white person who's experienced enough in subtle racism and how it comes about). I'd candidly say attitudes like this are part of the problem but no-doubt everything I say will be twisted and asked to be supported with statistical studies proving that asking someone about their heritage in such a disrespectful way (not just in any context/for the sake of genuinely wanting to know but to be racist) is, indeed, racist so I am going to have to cap off this discussion at some point before it becomes too nonsensical and gaslight-y and anyone who sees the patent offence in this is called a paranoid conclusion-jumper.
