Okay, to start this off, I'm not predjudiced at all. I am white, my wife is Filipino, and our son is in between.
My question is ; what is an Asian/white mix called? When my son fills out an application, what does he put for race?
I never really thought about it before, but today Barack Obama declared for presidency as an African American, although he is equally caucasion. I was discussing this with my wife and told her that he (Obama) is neither caucasion or black, but Mulatto. We started arguing and I brought up Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods is just as Asian as Black, yet he is always billed as being African American.
Why?
I asked my wife, if our son was the first man on Mars, would he be Filipino? Or white? She didn't have an answer.
Is there a name for a white/asian mix? Or black/asian mix?
Again, this is not racial at all, I'd honestly like to know where my son lies.
