Regarding his ethnicity and his experience with racism, he made the comment on an interview:

“My experience is that I find myself having to constantly define myself to others, day-in, day-out…My encounters with racism are sort of second-hand situations where I might be standing around with a group of white friends and someone makes a comment that they wouldn’t make, say, at my family reunion. It leaves a cut.”
