I thought his race/ethnicity was something present in the comics but I’ve been reading through them and have found no mention of it so far

Hes actually asian- viltrumite

Edited: Guys u was making a joke about how people in US call themselvs african american or asian american or anglo american. At most hes a mix between human and viltrumite. Now am assuming viltrumites culuture has evoled beyong the concept of nationalism or culturalism as they seem to be soly homogensized (as they are barely left) and am guessing he would probably self actualize as an american since he grew up in the US. But yall need to chill with this entire discussion i was making a joke. Dont need an entire debate about race- ethnisicty- spieces and culture etc

He would be a human-viltrumite. Viltrumite would be the species like humans are. It wouldn't be equivalent to being Asian.

It's kinda wild tbh lol. Like just reading text I know enough people who don't know the difference so it's entirely plausible it wasn't a joke, but now knowing it was a joke and reading it back it's so clear! If we all were in person there would be no question it was a joke

The thing is that sarcasm does not translate well over tekst
