Honestly, I'm surprised at how often it was there in the first place. Most other people only get special designations if their parents were immigrants of some form or if their family history is annoyingly detailed to begin with.
The exception being their Jewishness, which gets mentioned every single time. Even when it became obvious that it being there was being used for "antisemitic attacks" they still make sure its there. Which I think speaks volumes on how much they value just being born that way, even when its leading to "harassment" they'd still rather have it than keep quiet on it.
Like, on a completely neutral standpoint it only brings negative attention to the person (which is a big no-no and is why Chris-chan among others doesn't get an article at all) unless there is an unspoken positive to it. Which then feeds back into the negative attention.
sometimes I look up people of ambiguous/Asian-esque ethnicity but have European sounding last names, and wiki articles seem to go out of their ways not mentioning the ethnicities, it'd say so and so is an American/Canadian who grew up in such and such city.
Not just enjoy it, they know its beneficial. Else they would hide the shit out of it, just like the gays and other "passing" minority groups do when they know it brings a lot of negative attention.
Which is my big issue with it, the inability to just own up to the nepotism and benefits it clearly brings you.
