I understand cachable functions but your proposed application is a little unclear.
is it possible to see an example?
thanks in advance.

Here are probably your two main query problems:

It is impossible for Postgres to use an index for the above as it is written.
I would suggest one of two improvements;
1) Modify the schema so that multiple ethnicity details are kept in a
sub-table rather than a free-form text field you have to search, or:
2) Create a cachable function for "contains_asian" and index on that.

Use a "WHERE EXISTS" clause instead of "IN".
