Why aren't mexicans or whites Considered BI-RACIAL?

Question

We all know when you see a kid from WHITE FATHER, ASIAN MOTHER.. he is biracial. BLACK FATHER, WHITE MOTHER also. In mexico there's people who are Lighter than others.. some look very white,, some look very dark.. But i believe mexican people are pretty biracial too, and in America it doesnt seem like we are considered by racial. Also, white people are biracial sometimes.

Anyways, If we know mexican people are all Mixed since colonial timess and probably White people too.. and even black people and asians. Why is it, we make a fuss about Clearly defined ( black & white OR black & asian or White & asian)bi racial children, when actually most people especially mexicans are so multi-racial. My parents are from mexico and although the end result( that's me) does't look white, actually my father is kind of white with red hair and mother is darker with black hair

Answer 1

Generally, Hispanic & Caucacian are not considered differant races because the differances are not as defined as the differances between the three primary races black, asian, and white; also, bi-racial people are SO beautiful; and if you're talking about smaller people groups, Americans aren't very pure because we're usually a mix of like 10 ethnicities. Mexicans are usually a mixture of Native Americans and Spaniards. I'm Irish, Scottish, British, German. I'm married to a pure-blood Portuguese. Where am I going with this? I don't know. People are beautiful though, don't you think? I think all the differant colors are such a wonderful masterpiece of the Master Artist...

Answer 2

No, well not if you are caucasian on both sides and the majority of people of Mexican descent are a different ethnic group to the Anglo-Saxon ethnic group but they are the same race. Like if you are half White American and half White Italian, even though your Italian parent could well have darker skin, your race is still caucasian

Answer 3

I just think people like you whine so much, that it makes it seem like we are being racist; when we label you hispanics.
We dont have a problem with that, whites are whites, blacks are black; mixes are mixed.. why do you assume you have to have white? to be accepted by society.

look at vida guerra, jlo, puff daddy, bruce lee, they are all from other races and cultures; yet people love them.

dont assume things, mexicans are bi-racial.. but if they were pure indians; whats wrong with that?

Think about it.

Answer 4

Caucasian people are usually of different ethnicities, but of the same race. However, Mexicans are bi-racial (mestizo) considering that they are a mix of indigenous Indian blood and European/Spanish blood.

Answer 5

We're all mixed...and the sooner that the bureaucratic governments get over it, the better.
