Yep, my girlfriend has the same issue, she is from Cleveland, her ethnicity and parents are from South Korea. It definitely does not matter, I assume people are just curious, but I can imagine it gets annoying, being some random white dude I never have to hear that

@Lackwittyname probably cos ur from a predominantly white people area. I'm from Asia so I also get asked that a lot lol, personally I actually kinda like it cos I also see it as them just being curious, but that was a long time ago when I actually left the house and socialized and remembered getting slightly frustrated and annoyed by people asking me that all the time.
