Yeah... that's not how it works, Sean. Kira's of Japanese and Korean descent (obviously). We don't know if she was born in Japan or America, but it's most likely that she was born in America, so she's Asian American.

On that note, trying to determine the Hale's "race" is tricky because we know next to nothing about them... other than the fact that they were in Beacon Hills for generations before the Fire wiped most of them out. At the very least, we know they're American. We just don't know where they originally came from.
