Because mixed race NEVER means anything but white-and-whatever-other-colour. Certainly she didn't mean Korean-Chinese, or Chinese-Japanese, or Vietnamese-Japanese...
Noooo she meant white-japanese of course. Because it was utterly inconceivable that there might be a FANTASY world without white people, or a post-apocalypse world without white people.
(while it's perfectly normal to have post-apocalyptic and fantasy worlds entirely populated by white-as-the-driven-snow people. but introduce a person of colour? Noooo waaaaaaaay. They hAVE to have been mixed with WHITE PEOPLE, because there's no other way coloured people might show up! Ever!)
