Who do they remind you of?

That's a tricky one, but you nailed it! "Who" is doing the "reminding", not "you".

Try it: "Of whom do they remind you?"

I disagree, "whom" goes with "them" and "him". "They remind you of whom? They remind you of him?"

Then what word is the object of "of" in that sentence, if not the "who"? If it's an object, it should be "whom".

Isn't it "they" who are doing the reminding? And isn't the proper usage "whom" as the object of the preposition of?

I have to disagree: THEY (subject) do remind (verb) you (IO) of whom (preposition and object of preposition)?
