The percentages come from their ancestry (their GRANDPARENTS), not culture.

Obviously. But the fallacy trades on that insignificant mathematical curiosity to imply something that is ultimately cultural in nature.

Being "Japanese" is a matter of culture, not some kind of "magical Japanese DNA". So it doesn't make sense to say you're "12.5% Japanese". There is no "Japanese DNA". This is different than claiming that you have Japanese ancestry.
