I've heard that it doesn't mean your ethnicity it means something else.
I believe it means someone wants to know your ethnic background. Like what country did your grandparents come from.
It could mean that they are asking:
Are you African American, Native American, White, etc.
People often confuse the two and use them in exchange for each other.
They're all pretty white, it could mean white/black/tanned/ "Color of your skin" or your background/religion, it all depends cause everyone is different, some will just say they're color or the race could include what their religion is.
I usually tell them "homo sapiens" or simply "human", but sometimes I'll invent something like "nudipan narrans" (latin-scientific means "naked talking ape")
They don't wanna pre-judge you even though they most likely already did in their mind they wanna know what you actually are like your background
What race are you..... Are you African American, Native American,ect. The list goes on and on
TheY likee Wut r U. they mean Wut c0lor r U like Blacc, white.
are you white, black, native mainly.
I mean right*
