"Eyes like the Sky"'s overlooked statement on racial identity

I really like Eyes Like the Sky, Australian experimental rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's oft-overlooked Western concept album. To be perfectly honest I understand why it's almost never mentioned by fans- King Gizzard is psychotically prolific, for one, so it's easily buried under all the other great albums. It doesn't help that this softmore effort is an oddball even by Gizzard standards, being a little more like an audiobook than an album.

Broderick Smith's gritty spoken-word narration tells us of a Caucasian-Mexican boy who gets kidnapped by Comanche Indians at a young age, who is given the name "Eyes Like the Sky" for his blue eyes. Said eyes are consistentally touted as proof of his whiteness, although the album's narrative runs counter to the idea that our protaganist can really be shoved into racial boxes. I want to note that although it's not said outright, the boy's racial makeup is about as textual as it gets (the narrator explicitly calls his father white but not him, his name is Miguel for God's sake, etc).
