Transracial adoptee

Living in a very diverse city with predominantly white family members, but often get ethnicity assumed.
Good friend and I start talking about church, asks me if I go to any ethnic churches around here, referencing nonwhite congregations in the area.
Tell him I'm "half white", because I don't know what to say to explain my lack of cultural understanding. At the same time, I'm not sure what to say because I don't know anything about my culture whatsoever.

What am I supposed to say? Every native I know is either dying on a reservation in Arizona or living in Mexico or some Latino country.

I feel extremely insecure and embarrassed about it because all I know is European tradition and culture which I cherish and enjoy a lot, even if I know I can't typically embody it.

just tell them you were adopted by White Europeans and give them a weird look, as if you're judging them for assuming anything about you. they will feel as deeply uncomfortable and embarrassed as you feel
Then you can laugh and diffuse the tension and be friends. Or leave it hanging, uncomfortably, if you want them to never talk to you again
