It blows my mind that people can get through school without knowing the difference between a subject and an object...

It is not. Your joke was noted and appreciated.

It is correct, if awkward, because you end the question with the preposition "about."

"About whom are you talking/speaking" would be standard and a bit more natural, but not as colloquial as "who are you talking about" which, though not standard English, has evolved into acceptable use.
