I don't know that I'd call it racial identity if they don't understand what race is. Seems to me, they're pointing out ancestral characteristics about themselves and assigning the title (Asian) that their parents use. Only later will they learn that these ancestral characteristics induct them into a particular race as identified by Americans.
